From Cellular to Population Studies
Optimizing
Energy Metabolism
Our current translational projects are driven by innovation, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to research excellence
Creatine +
We study how amino acid and gut microbiota–derived metabolites influence mitochondria to counteract aging, metabolic syndrome, sarcopenia, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Neuroenergia
We develop and validate biomarkers and imaging approaches to assess brain energy metabolism, detecting early bioenergetic impairments in various conditions.
Foodtech 2.1
Developing and testing novel nutritional formulations, ensuring product stability, bioavailability, and compliance with regulatory and quality standards.
Big data
Analyzing large population datasets to investigate nutrient inadequacies and their associations with metabolic health across diverse demographic and clinical populations.
