Highlights
COMPETITIVE FUnDIng FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS
In 2016 our research group DIAMET has been funded by 5 projects from the “Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitaria (FIS), ISCIII” (PI15/00045, PI13/00152, PI14/00465, PI15/00143 and PI15/01562) and a project funded by the “Programa Estatal de I+D+i Orientada a los Retos de la Sociedad del MINECO” (SAF2015- 65019R); all of them led by members of our research group. Our group has also become part of the “Red de Investigación de Excelencia “Adipoplast”” funded by MINECO (BFU2015-70454-REDT).
To highlight that in 2016 DIAMET was awarded with two projects of the “Fundació La Marató de TV3” with the co-directors of the group, Joan Vendrell and Sonia Fernández-Veledo, as principal investigators of each of them.
COMPETITIVE FUnDIng FOR HUMAn RESOURCES
The DIAMET research group currently comprises clinical and basic researchers; some of them funded through competitive training and senior fellowships from the MINECO (FJCI-2014-23060, RYC2013-13186) and FIS (CD15-00173, CPII16/00008). To note that in 2016 our group was awarded with a training fellowship (BES-2016-077745) and a postdoctoral fellowship (IJCI-2015-24157), both of which supported by MINECO.
TRAInIng
The researchers of our group has also experience in teaching undergraduate and post-graduate studens in the field of Medicine, Nutrition and Biochemistry, as full and associate professors. More specifically, Dr. Vendrell directed a doctoral thesis in 2016. To emphasize the annual intra-CIBER training workshop organized by our group in 2016 “TARRACO-MALACCA III JOInT WORKSHOP. Up to date on the etiopathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Local and systemic events in the insulin-resistance process. “carried out in Lloret de Mar.
