Highlights
In 2015 we have established that human islets maintain a higher functional capacity and survival in a culture medium supplemented with human serum versus human albumin, which allows improving the prognostic when the islets are transplanted after- wards. We have continued the characterization of different aspects of medical and surgical treatment of diabetic patient, especially with morbid obesity. In a multicenter clinical assay in interventional cardiol- ogy, where we have participated as the only expert group in diabetes, we have demonstrated a similar efficacy between two types of stents in patients with diabetes and ischemic cardiopathy. The head of the group participated as Local Organization Committee and chairman of the international meet- ing at the 4th European Joslin-Sunstar Diabetes Ed- ucation Iniciative (JSDEI) “Diabetes on Oral Health & Nutrition. Inter-relationships, Innovations & Interac- tion”, sponsored by the Joslin Diabetes Center (Har- vard Medical School) and the Sunstar Foundation.
Several investigators of the group are members of boards of different national and international scien- tific societies, such as the Islet Study Group of the EASD (Dr. Montanya), the Islet Group of the Span- ish Diabetes Association (Dra. Téllez) or the Catalan Diabetes Association (Dr. Caballero). Regarding ed- ucation, we have incorporated a new PhD student through competitive public financing (AGAUR), and two graduate students have completed their mas- ter’s degree in our group. Regarding outreach, the head of the group is the current President of the Di- abetes Advisory Board of Generalitat de Catalunya, and several members have participated on the Cat- alan autonomic television program, La Marató de TV3, a fundraising initiative for diabetes research. The Senior Basic Research award “Alberto Sols” of the Spanish Diabetes Association was conferred to the head of the group.
