Systems Nutrition

Our research efforts are devoted to the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in metabolic and immuno-inflammatory disorders, in neurodegeneration, cancer and infectious diseases, and in the analysis of omic and clinical data following therapies or dietary regimens. We complement our research with the development and customization of computational biology algorithms in support of systems pharmacology and nutrition.
