Area: Nutrition, Metabolism and Cellular Stress
Area coordinator: Dr. Joaquim Ros Salvador
We study the ageing process, myocardial differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases and cell signalling in relation to oxidative stress in various cellular, animal and human models, using experimental and theoretical methods.
