The most important highlights during 2014 include the following: First, the journal Diabetologia featured our article entitled “Integrative analysis reveals novel pathways mediating the interaction between adipose tissue and pancreatic islets in obesity” on the cover on the June issue . Also, the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD) nominated Dr . Rosa Gasa, member of our group, to coordinate the Diabetes Research Education Programme in Europe . This nomination is important, as it recognizes our group as an international point of reference in research to the extent that one of its members can lead the coordination of an international educational program of prestige, such as the one organized by the EFSD . On another note, group leader Ramon Gomis was named as one of the four coordinators of the Academia Europaea for Southern Europe . In terms of international projects, as deputy coordinators of the MEDIGENE project in which CIBERDEM participates, we have developed various strategies for conducting GWAS analyses in populations of the different participating countries (France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt) . Furthermore, we have prepared the biobank with samples of genomic and mitochondrial DNA taken from molars originating from the Roman population of the Tarragona Necropolis, with the corresponding amplification and sequencing . Finally, we wish to make special mention of the José Antonio Hedo Junior Basic Research Prize, which was awarded in 2014 by the Foundation of the Spanish Diabetes Society (SED) to group member Dr . Elaine Vieira .
