I am Principal Investigator of the Nutritional Control of the Epigenome Group at IMDEA Food.
I have a PhD in Cell Biology and Genetics. My main research interest is to define how foods and nutrients modulate the human epigenome and how this modulation impacts on human non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.
That knowledge can be of great utility to developing new therapeutic tools to treat these diseases and to develop new precision nutrition strategies to prevent these diseases and to avoid associated comorbidities.
Along my career, I have got experience and knowledge from internationally recognized scientists at Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Tufts University and Yale University.
I have published more than 120 scientific papers in prestigious journals and my studies have been cited more than 1,000 times.
I am principal investigator of different trials like PREDIMED-Plus, InLifeAging, ENSATI or Endo-MAFLD.
In my leisure time I spent fun time playing board games with family and friends, some of them related to biology, like Cytosis or Rush MD. At the end of the day, I like to relax reading a detective novel.
