Highlights
RESEARCH GROUP
Over 2014, the group has further developed the two main research lines: 1)ovarian androgen excess; 2)low birth weight and subsequent postnatal endocrine-metabolic and body composition abnormalities .
These are among the priority research lines of the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, being part of a bigger line entitled: Adult Diseases of Fetal Origin, coordinated by Dr . Lourdes Ibáñez since 2008 (University of Barcelona; www . hsjdbcn .org) .
The results of the recent progress have been presented in invited lectures at international forums, including at the ICE/ENDOCRINE SOCIETY meeting in Chicago (USA) .
