Main lines of research
• We study the link between endocrine disruptors and type 2 diabetes. We investigate the actions of oestrogens and environmental oestrogenic pollutants in the function of pancreatic alpha and beta cells with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms involved.
• Signal transduction pathways involved in the function and pathology of alpha and beta-cells. Additionally, we investigate the adaptations of islet-cells to obesity and malnutrition states.
