Our research focuses on the mechanisms that regulate cellular energy homeostasis and whose alterations lead to metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.

Torna el MetNet!, la trobada anual sobre metabolisme i malalties associades! Explorarem com el metabolisme influeix en obesitat, diabetis, malalties cardiovasculars, càncer i altres patologies, des d’una mirada molecular, cel·lular i fisiològica.👇

Very proud of @JuliaZednanreh, a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, for having received a @acdiabetis grant to study the mechanisms of time-restricted feeding on adipose tissue inflammation and #Diabetis.
Ajuts a la recerca bàsica en Diabetis
Enhorabona a Julia Hernández Baixauli per l’obtenció de l’ajut de l’ACD amb el projecte: l’impacte de l’alimentació restringida en el temps sobre la inflamació del teixit adipós i l’homeòstasi de la glucosa. 👏🔬

Gràcies a #AmgenTransferCiència i @fundaciorecerca els alumnes de @VedrunaVila van explorar el #metabolisme i la #diabetis amb un taller d’ELISA. De la ma de @JuliaZednanreh del nostre laboratori, van ser científics per un dia.
Inspirant la propera generació d’investigadors!🔬

Thanks to #AmgenTransferCiència & @fundaciorecerca, we introduced students from @VedrunaVila to #metabolism & #diabetes through a hands-on ELISA workshop. Guided by @JuliaZednanreh from our lab, they became scientists for a day.
Inspiring the next generation of researchers! 🔬

Often overlooked, some endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be fuelling today's obesity epidemic 👇
31 Jul 2025
Persistent #chemicals in the environment may be adding to the #obesity epidemic and, says Dr Tim Lobstein, are another reason why individuals should not be blamed for weight gain.
