Our major aim now is identifying longevity-related genes, finding ways of upregulating these genes by physiological, nutritional, and pharmacological intervention and determining how to promote healthy ageing.
The group studies the mechanisms of this enigmatic and common disease, its physiopathology and ways of early detection. It's also involved in the development of new medication for its treatment via clinical trials.
Our major aim was originally to test whether free radicals associated with exercise could lead to damage in muscle and to protect these muscles by various interventions such as training and nutrition.
Study and improvement of ovarian tissue cryopreservation techniques, detection of occult metastatic diseases in breast cancer patients, in vitro activation and maturation, fertility preservation in leukaemia patients and uterus transplant.
This research line seeks to understand how ovaries in female patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation work and to improve the results by reducing complications.
To determine the intercellular mechanisms of toxicity of amyloid beta, its interaction with mitochondrial metabolism and its consequences in cell signalling. Our idea is that Alzheimer’s and Tau toxicities are related and that free radicals play a major signalling role in this process.
