Highlights
Among the major achievements of our group throughout 2016 we can stand out the concession of a “Consolidator grant” awarded by the European Research Council (ERC) for the study of the different neural populations which regulate the energetic status of the organism.
Several courses addressed to clinical specialists have been organized, among which we can highlight new Tools in Diabetes Management (University of Barcelona), Clinical Excellence (Hospital Clínic), Preceptorship in Diabetes for Primary Care Clinicians (for Spanish and Portuguese medical doctors) (IDIBAPS-Hospital Clínic).
During this year, the group has performed several science broadcasting events including the launch of the new research line on dietary intervention with sardine in order to prevent and improve the diabetic state – in the framework of the science communication lectures “After work science” at La Pedrera-. Worth mentioning also the concession of the award to the Best Ideas of the Year, in the category of patronage and solidarity, to the project Living Lab Diabetes, granted by Diario Clínico. Another notable achievement during 2016 has been the recognition to the teaching and scientific trajectory of Prof. Dr. Ramon Gomis by awarding him the Honoris Causa recognition by the Rovira i Virgili University. Moreover, Prof. Dr. Ramon gomis has been recently nominated President of the Research and Innovation Advisory Board of the government of Catalonia.
