Molecular control of metabolic homeostasis

Our work is focussed on the study of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the development, cell differentiation and function of pancreatic islets. We are interested in the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of gene expression and their implications for the etiopathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and for the regulation of metabolic homeostasis in the organism. In addition, we are interested in the study of the developmental alterations of the central nervous system related with gestational diabetes.
