Main lines of research
• The research group at Valme Hospital is focused on two main lines: Hepatitis C and Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The development of hepatocellular carcinoma from these diseases also currently represents a priority area of research for the group. On the other hand, several projects deal with other areas within the liver and digestive diseases (complications of cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, Helicobacter pylori infection and inflammatory bowel disease).
• Regarding hepatitis C, our projects aimed to identify elements (genes and/or proteins) that may represent new therapeutic targets. To achieve this goal we perform two complementary approaches: one is based on an association analysis of the entire genome (GWAS), and the other in the study of molecular interactions between viral and host, with special emphasis on proteins related with the insulin-signaling pathway.
