Research Interest

Molecular Nutrition and Health research group interests are grounded on nutritional biochemistry focusing on nutrients/bioactives components and its derivatives, their metabolization,  physiological processes and the molecular mechanisms behind their effects on health and disease. Our approaches combine metabolism and nutritional mechanistic studies in humans, animals and relevant cellular models and organisms. The main cellular pathways associated with proteostasis including autophagy, ubiquitin/proteasome, and the unfolded protein response pathways are the focus. Overall we aim to understand the nutrition-related mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level and associated to lifestyle-related chronic illnesses.
