Main lines of research
• The effects of pancreatic-mesenteric adipose tissue on beta-cell plasticity • Crosstalk between adipose tissue and endothelium in metabolic diseases: the role of adipocytokines in
the aetiology and development of the atherothrombotic complications in both diseases
• The molecular determinants involved in pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis and regeneration: clinical appli- cations
• Transcriptional networks which control beta-cell population and function • Pancreatic islet transplantation: role of PTP1B • The role of the hypothalamus in energy homeostasis control in obesity • Genetic determinants involved in the risk of type 2 diabetes
