Highlights
RESEARCH gROUP
Over 2016, the group has further developed the two main research lines:
• Ovarian androgen excess: follow-up of a clinical trial with novel therapies (PI15/01078); methylation and
miRnAs exploration in hyperandrogenic adolescents.
• Low birth weight and postnatal endocrine-metabolic abnormalities: we have published the first part of the
project related to methylation and gene expression in newborns of low birthweigth (PI11/02403). We are
currently analyzing the persistence of this pattern ar age 12 months.
These are among the priority research lines of the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, being part of a broader line entitled: Adult Diseases of Fetal Origin, coordinated by Dr. Lourdes Ibáñez since 2008 (UB; www.hsjdbcn.org). The results of the recent accomplishmetns have been presented in invited lectures at national and international forums, including those at the Endocrine Society (Boston), and ISPAD (Valencia), as well as ten update courses, twelve abstracts in international meetings and eight in national meetings.
COLLABORATIOnS:
• Since 1998, the research group has developed joint research projects (and derived manuscripts) with the University of Leuven, Belgium (Prof. F. de Zegher), the University of Cambridge, UK (Prof. D.B. Dunger, Dr. K. Ong) and the University of Girona (Dr. A. López-Bermejo).
