El Aragon Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón), organized with the collaboration of Ibercaja Foundation this "Cycle of keynote lectures» with the aim of promoting the cardiovascular health of the Aragonese.

  • “Genes, nutrition and cardiometabolic factors.”

Gives the Dr. José Mª Ordovás Muñoz, director of the Nutrition and Genomics Laboratory at Tufts University (Boston, United States). Scientific director of the Madrid Institute of Advanced Studies (IMDEA).

Diet is an essential pillar of health, however generalized nutritional recommendations for the population have not given the expected results and the prevalence of the most common diseases in society continues to increase. This has given rise to the need for in-depth research to be able to give personalized and effective nutritional recommendations making use of genetics and other molecular techniques.

  • “Genes and obesity.”

Gives the Dr. José Miguel Arbones Mainar, senior researcher at the Aragonese Institute of Health Sciences (IACS). Researcher at the Networked Biomedical Research Center for the Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBEROBN).

The obesity is one of most common metabolic disorders in developed societies. Personalized medicine in the field of obesity and its associated comorbidities are based on a better genetic characterization of the obese individual. Our goal is the development of diagnostic tools (“biomarkers”) that doctors can use to guide therapeutic recommendations for obese patients.

  • Colloquium that moderate:

Dr. José A. Casasnovas Languages. Professor of Cardiology at the University of Zaragoza. Researcher at the Aragón Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón). Researcher at the Network Biomedical Research Center for Cardiovascular Diseases (CIBERCV).
