Cardiovascular sciences

This group is involved in basic, translational, and clinical researches in the field of cardiovascular medicine. In our labs, molecular and physiopathological mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases are evaluated in cellular and animal models and in our Clinics, observational and clinical studies are performed on the most important topic of cardiovascular medicine.

Cardiac surgery

Cardiovascular medicine, Hypertensio, Metabolism

Nutrition; Degenerative and inflammatory diseases

Degenerative and inflammatory diseases

Chronic diseases’ morbidity and mortality are characterized by degenerative and inflammatory processes whose molecular and physiopathological mechanisms are the focus of this group. Basic, translational, and clinical studies are currently performed in our Centers on the most important degenerative and inflammatory diseases.

Psychiatry, child neuropsychiatry; Diabetes and nutrition

Diabetes and nutrition

This cluster is focuses in clinical and preventive aspects of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with particular emphasis on the role of precision medicine and the use of modern online monitoring techniques. Also, in this group nutrition and dietary habits are faced from the various clinical application point of view and through the study of innovative tools and methods for the detection of eating habits in the population.

Anesthesiology

Cardiovascular medicine, Hypertensio, Metabolism

Diabeter, Ageing

Nutrition; Education and simulation in health

Education and simulation in health

The group focuses its research activity in the field of undergraduate, postgraduate and advanced health care education, introducing innovative elements by designing and testing the effectiveness of simulation technology. The effective development of technical and non-technical skills among health-care professionals through mono and multidisciplinary courses are the main lines of research where qualitative, quantitative and multi-method approaches are used.

Gasto-intestinal surgery

Oral - maxillofacial surgery

Surgical simulation, education; Exercise physiology, sports medicine and rehabilitation

Exercise physiology, sports medicine and rehabilitation

The research focus of the cluster deals with exercise physiology, bioenergetics, biomechanics and rehabilitation. Apart from the study of basic mechanisms (spanning from isolated muscle fibers to organ and whole body physiology), translational applications to sports science, sports medicine, training/detraining, environmental physiology, exercise tolerance in chronic diseases, are proposed and analyzed. The research in the rehabilitation field gather together orthopedics and rehabilitation specialist to evaluate post-traumatic and pathological conditions.
