Nutrition and Metabolism

The 'Nutrition and Metabolism' research group aims to advance its leadership in several key research areas:-Microbiota Modulation: strengthen expertise in nutritional strategies, exploring impacts on health and disease.- Endocrine Disruptors: understanding its effects on human health, advancing knowledge in this critical area.

- Nutritional Therapeutics: studying nutritional therapeutic interventions for patients with inborn errors of metabolism, namely exploring the role of nutrition in dysbiosis.

- Clinical Trials in Nutrition: The group aims to lead clinical trials in the clinical nutrition area, contributing to evidence based practices.- Metabolism and Dietary Factors: Research will continue into metabolism modulation by dietary factors, particularly investigating mitochondrial dysfunction and its relation to cellular health.

- Lifestyle Interventions: Exploring the impact of factors like diet, exercise, and antibiotic exposure as therapeutic strategies, with a focus on mitigating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

- Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Investigating mitochondrial function and signaling changes due to obesity, dietary shifts, and environmental factors, potentially linked to inflammatory disease pathogenesis.

- Aging and Menopause: The group will deepen expertise in metabolism during aging, especially focusing on menopause-related metabolic changes.

- Dysbiosis and Disease: Further exploration considering its relation to cellular dysfunction and potential therapeutic interventions.

- Microbiota-Directed Therapies: Highlighting its potential as adjuncts in treating metabolic diseases and addressing aging-related issues.- Early Life Nutrition: Emphasizing its intervention importance for long-term health outcomes into adulthood, focusing on metabolic and immunologic impacts.

- Research Funding&IP Protection: secure more European financial support, including leading projects, and focus on creating value through research outcomes IP protection.
