Spanish term or phrase: aquélla
Hello

I am still translating a document about the subject areas available in Spanish Universities.

Under the heading -

Biología Molecular, Celular y Genética

Investigación sobre los fundamentos de la función biológica, estructura y sus interrelaciones, desde el nivel molecular al del organismo, y sin distinción del modelo biológico de estudio, a excepción de aquélla cuyo propósito principal sea mejorar la salud humana.

To what does "aquélla" refer?
"Distinción"??

Thank you!

It may refer to "investigación"


Explanation:
I don't think "función biológica" can have the purpose of improving human health, however "investigación" can.

In the end it doesn't matter as I wouldn't specifically translate "aquella" in this sentence

Notes to answerer
Asker: Dear David Certainly your offering would avoid my dilemma....I have pointed out this problem to the client so the proofreader is aware of this too! TY Liz

Asker: David, I have just heard back from the client, and here is their solution (!): Research relates to (o se puede poner "on") the fundamental aspects of biological function, structure and inter-relationships, from the molecular level to the organism level, regardless of the biological study model used, except when the purpose is to improve human health.
