Our team focuses in research regarding adipose tissue biology and genetics of healthy and diseased (Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiometabolic Syndrome a.o.) population. Our investigation approaches include field and laboratory studies, working both in vivo and in vitro, in an effort to elucidate possible genetic markers and phenotypic indices that could play a role in adipose tissue “behavior”. Thus, our research utilizes induction or absence of certain stimuli. Currently, we perform gene polymorphism association and in vitro studies on adipocytes’ metabolism.
