Associate Investigator
The main objective of our group is to investigate genetic and epigenetic factors related to cardiac remodeling in hypertensive patients and in people with spinal cord injuries. To this end, we use several molecular biology tools. Keywords: Obesity, hypothalamus, energy expenditure, brown adipose tissue, thermogenesis, inflammation
