Multidisciplinary biomedical research group established in 1998 within the EPIGEM (Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology) Research Unit, recognised at the Universitat de València. This group was recognised by the Valencian Government in 2000 and again by the Valencian Government as a group of excellence in 2004. Since then, it has participated in research on genetic and environmental risk factors in the aetiology of complex diseases, mainly cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors including obesity, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, etc. Since 2003 it has been part of the PREDIMED study and is currently part of the PREDIMED PLUS study. Since 2006 it has been part of the CIBER Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition. The group has more than 350 publications in scientific journals. It has participated in more than 30 public and private research projects and is a pioneering group in Nutritional Genomics.
