Short description of research profile

The primary objective of our research group is to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying various metabolic disorders, including obesity, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Our focus is on understanding how these conditions are influenced by factors such as ageing, physical activity, dietary habits, and weight reduction, particularly through bariatric and metabolic surgery as a treatment for obesity.
