The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.

The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Laboratory of Autophagy and Nutrition in Ageing - NutriAging

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2025-629

 
Description of research activity:

Our research group focuses on analyzing the role of autophagy as a key mediator in different nutritional interventions, such as the Mediterranean diet, fasting, and ketogenic diet, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of treatments targeting chronic and metabolic diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. By deepening our understanding of how these dietary strategies modulate autophagy, we seek to identify mechanisms that can be leveraged to optimize the response of tumor cells and atherosclerotic plaques to therapies, minimize side effects, and ultimately increase the overall success of both oncological and cardiovascular treatments.
