Highlights
During 2015, our group obtained funding from the European Commission for the LUCA project as well as a patent for the use of sodium tungstate as an anti-platelet agent. Meetings for the ongoing ME- DIGENE project were organized, highlighting those held in Barcelona and Zagreb. In addition, group members participated in the organization of several scientific activities, including the following courses: Translational Research in Diabetes (INSERM, Mont- pellier), Diabetes under Debate (CIBERDEM, Madrid), Clinical Excellence (Hospital Clinic, Barcelona), and Innovation in the Treatment of Diabetes (Universi- tat de Barcelona). Invited lectures also stand out, such as those presented at the XXVI Congress of the SED (closing speech), Universidad Juan Carlos I (Madrid), the Latin American Forum Master (Bos-
ton), and the opening speech of the Medical Degree academic program (Universitat de Barcelona). Also worth mentioning are efforts devoted to social out- reach activities such as an urban sketching event focused on diabetes, talks given with the frame- work of World Diabetes Day, and participation in the 2015 La Marató de TV3 telethon, centered on diabe- tes and metabolic diseases research. Some group members are responsible for the Master’s Degree in Principles of Care and Education for Diabetes Surf- ferers, started in 2015 at the Universitat de Barcelo- na, and the initiation of a new laser methodology in thyroid nodules treatment. Finally, the participation of various group members in the publication of the textbook, Molecular Nutrition and Diabetes (Elsevier) is also featured.
