The Metabolic and Maternal-fetal research group is a multidisciplinary research group (basic researchers, clinicians, paediatricians and gynaecologists) that studies different metabolic and (epi)genetic markers associated with maternal and new-born metabolism for early identification of paediatric population at risk of developing metabolic diseases and obesity.
Identification of metabolic and (epi)genetic markers associated with metabolic alterations in pregnancy and new-borns, and their relationship to pre- and post-natal growth.
The metabolic research group is characterized by extensive experience in both clinical and applied basic research, endorsed by competitive and overlapping funding from national and European research projects, as well as by publications in international journals in the field of the first quartile and decile in the line of energy metabolism from gestation to the paediatric age.
The group’s strategic objectives are below:
