Our group aims to apply integrative computational analyses and to develop bioinformatics resources to study the nutrition-disease interactions through molecular variability responses. Complex analytical strategies are key for understanding the relationships between food, genes, environment and diseases and to develop precision nutrition strategies based on individual molecular background. The group is currently focused on four topics:
1. Metabolic Variability to study the complex molecular relationships between food/diet bioactive compounds and drugs interactions from structured and unstructured resources.
2. Bioinformatic tools development to integrate and facilitate the analysis, visualization and interpretation of complex, heterogeneous and disperse molecular food datasets.
3. Microbiome-Host interaction for characterizing the microbiome disruption in complex diseases like colorectal cancer or celiac disease and study the effects of food bioactive compounds in microbiome modulation for a healthy gut and precision nutrition strategies.
4. Citizen Science bringing the science and knowledge generated in our group closer to the people.
