@VillenaLab

Our research focuses on the mechanisms that regulate cellular energy homeostasis and whose alterations lead to metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.

This week we attended the 47th #SEBBM2026 Meeting in Tarragona! @JuliaZednanreh from our lab presented her study on how #TimeRestrictedFeeding reshapes immune response to LPS-induced sepsis in obese mice. Fantastic meeting with inspiring talks and outstanding science.

Torna el MetNet!, la trobada anual sobre metabolisme i malalties associades! Explorarem com el metabolisme influeix en obesitat, diabetis, malalties cardiovasculars, càncer i altres patologies, des d’una mirada molecular, cel·lular i fisiològica.👇

Very proud of @JuliaZednanreh, a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, for having received a @acdiabetis grant to study the mechanisms of time-restricted feeding on adipose tissue inflammation and #Diabetis.
Ajuts a la recerca bàsica en Diabetis Enhorabona a Julia Hernández Baixauli per l’obtenció de l’ajut de l’ACD amb el projecte: l’impacte de l’alimentació restringida en el temps sobre la inflamació del teixit adipós i l’homeòstasi de la glucosa. 👏🔬 #ACDiabetis #Diabetis

Gràcies a #AmgenTransferCiència i @fundaciorecerca els alumnes de @VedrunaVila van explorar el #metabolisme i la #diabetis amb un taller d’ELISA. De la ma de @JuliaZednanreh del nostre laboratori, van ser científics per un dia. Inspirant la propera generació d’investigadors!🔬

Thanks to #AmgenTransferCiència & @fundaciorecerca, we introduced students from @VedrunaVila to #metabolism & #diabetes through a hands-on ELISA workshop. Guided by @JuliaZednanreh from our lab, they became scientists for a day. Inspiring the next generation of researchers! 🔬
