This is a gre at possibility to learn hosting skills in friendly environment and create connections for future. Every student is welcome to join\, in spite of whi ch research group they belong to. BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nI f you got interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\ n\n \;\n\nOur lab is specialized in the study of the molecular and cel l biology of the control of mitochondrial energy metabolism and associated diseases. We study the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional control of the differentiation of specialized cell types with key roles in energy ho meostasis as well as how metabolic and endocrine functions are regulated i n cells/tissues. We use experimental models at a sub-cellular (mitochondri a)\, cellular and animal model levels of analysis\, complemented by studyi ng samples from patients with metabolic diseases (obesity\, lipodystrophy\ , T2DM). Our aim is to identify the main molecular actors that control ene rgy metabolism in health and disease\, and by this means to establish fore seeable prevention and treatment strategies to ameliorate metabolic diseas es.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nAdela Urisarri\, Ismael Gonzál ez-García\, Ánxela Estévez-Salguero\, María P Pata\, Edward Milbank\, Noemi López\, Natalia Mandiá\, Carmen Grijota-Martinez\, Carlos A Salgad o\, Rubén Nogueiras\, Carlos Diéguez\, Francesc Villarroya\, ...
