Activity in research and clinician has enabled the translation of new concepts from bench to the clinic
A) Funder and leading process of accreditation of a Research Institute, INCLIVA, a leading Institute linked to the University of Valencia and pertaining to the ISCIII (Minister of Economy and Competition, Spanish Government) dedicated to translational research with 31 groups of research in several disciplines (www.incliva.es), for which I served as Scientific Director from 2009 until 2017.
B) Research group in studies of renal damage in hypertension and the impact on cardiovascular and renal risk. My continuous and dedicated work in the field of hypertension, cardiovascular and renal diseases from my origins in North-Western University was subsequently pursued at the University of Valencia
(i). My initial studies of BP (Kidney Int 1996, NEJM 2002) and metabolic (J Hypertens 1997, Hypertension 2002) factors related to UAE, followed by others research groups, examined to the link between UAE and left ventricular hypertrophy (J Hypertens 2013) changes under antihypertensive treatment in long-term follow-up and their prognostic value on cardiovascular risk (Hypertension 2014) providing the background for Recommendations in the use of the measurement of urinary albumin excretion in small amounts as a marker of cardiovascular risk in hypertensives Guidelines for the treatment of Hypertension ESH-ESC 2013 and 2018 (European Heart Journal 2013, 2018) and the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk of ESC in 2016 (European Heart Journal Cardiovasc Prevent 2016).
(ii). In parallel molecular studies in a key cell of the kidney for UAE filtration, podocytes, and excretion in urine was developed. This identified the role of miRNA 26a, through the TGFbeta, in the podocyte damage and their potential role as a marker of future renal damage progression (PLOsOne 2015, NDT 2016, PLOsOne 2016, Int J Mol Sci 2017, Redox Biol 2017, Clin Sci 2018, J Hypertens 2018, J Trans Med 2018, J Hypertens 2018). The impact of genetic background in UAE was also assessed in various studies by my group (J Hypertens 2010; Am J Hypertens 2011, PLOsOne 2014), identifying the association with genes of the renin-angiotensin system and association with one component of the Rab GTPases system, which the starting point of the present proposal (Disease Models & Mechanisms 2020, Am J Renal Physiology 2020).
(iii). In the last years, the studies of renal damage incorporated the use of Big-Data and Artificial Intelligence with development of population studies in the clustering of cardiac and renal disease founded by the EU through three important research projects BigData@heart (IMI2-2015-07-07, reference FPP116074- 2), BODYPASS (ICT-14 - 779780) and BigMedilytics (ICT-15 - 780495) in which I perform a relevant role (see Annex)
C) Epidemiologic and Clinical studies
(i). Clinical study that was a translational milestone was in the Guidelines for the use of 24-hour ABPM in resistant hypertension, which was the first article to demonstrate the utility for risk stratification of cardiovascular events for risk stratification and in normotensive patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 for the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy. Its authority in the field is reflected in a number of publications and reference articles that paved the way for future research in the field, such as the recently published (Hypertension 2014). This led to the setting of standards for diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations in the International Guidelines for Management of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk, guidelines, in which I have participated as both writer and section coordinator (Hypertension 2013, 2018; Ambulatory BP monitoring ESH-ISH, 2014, 2016), Home BP (2010), Elderly (2016); Children and adolescents (2016), Central Blood Pressure (2014), Cardiovascular Risk (2016) and Resistant Hypertension (2013, 2015, 2016)
(ii). International Epidemiological Studies and the Phase II and Phase III Clinical Trials of new antihypertensive drugs (48 trials) and studies of impact on morbidity and mortality (16 trials, one ONTARGET as a member of the International Steering Committee). Especially relevant are the epidemiological studies that have established the causes of different cerebrovascular mortality in the different regions of Spain, identifying stroke mortality as a marker of the state of hypertension (Eur Heart J 2011). This led to the establishment of a working group of the European Society of Hypertension in collaboration with the European Office of the World Health Organization, of which I am the coordinator, to provide a platform for monitoring the evolution of the control of hypertension in different European countries.
(iii). Cooperative studies on Obesity (Lancet 2011; Lancet 2016) Diabetes (Lancet Diabet Endocrin 2015) Cardiovascular Risk Factors (Lancet, 2011, Lancet 2011, Circulation 2013) and dyslipidemia (Nature 2020).
