Main lines of research
• The effects of pancreatic-mesenteric adipose tis- sue on beta-cell plasticity.
• Crosstalk between adipose tissue and endothe- lium in metabolic diseases: the role of adipocy- tokines in the aetiology and development of the atherothrombotic complications in both diseases.
• The molecular determinants involved in pancre- atic beta-cell apoptosis and regeneration: clinical applications.
• Transcriptional networks which control beta-cell population and function.
• Pancreatic islet transplantation: role of PTP1B.
• The role of the hypothalamus in energy homeo- stasis control in obesity.
• Genetic determinants involved in the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Intrinsic and extrinsic signals regulating beta cell mass.
