The Graupera lab awarded with a grant from the BBVA Foundation

The Graupera lab has received a grant from the BBVA Foundation “Ayudas a Equipos de Investigación Científica Biomedicina 2019” for an exciting project on metabolic disorders and endothelial alterations. The confinement due to COVID-19 has not prevented the evaluating committee to meet the deadline set and select the project over the 469 proposals presented this year. The project aims to study metabolic derangements associated with obesity from a novel perspective: the vascular system as an active player in the regulation of systemic metabolism.
