Seminario «Deciphering ß cell dysfunction in Type 2 and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus»

Seminario impartido por Alfonso Rafael Rubio Navarro– Departamento de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular III e Inmunología -Facultad de Medicina – Universidad de Granada.

Resumen:

The talk will explore various mechanisms of cell dysfunction in Type 2 and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus. Topics will include treatments for cardiac complications associated with Type 2 diabetes, the role of macrophages in mitigating inflammation and tissue damage across different conditions, and the impact of disorders involving extensive intravascular hemolysis on Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers have identified a unique subset of β cells with enhanced insulin secretion, which is diminished in Type 2 diabetes, providing valuable insights into β cell dysfunction.

BIO: Pharmacy Degree at the University of Granada and Master in Pharmacological Research at the Autonomous University of Madrid. In 2013, Alfonso joined the Vascular, Renal, and Diabetes Laboratory at Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz in Madrid to pursue his PhD. In 2017, he moved to New York to join Dr. Lo’s lab at Weill Cornell Medicine as postdoctoral researcher. In 2021, Alfonso was awarded a Maria Zambrano Fellowship to continue his research at the University of Granada and in 2024, he obtained a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship to establish his own research line at UGR focused on metabolic and inflammatory disorders, such as obesity and cancer.
