Progresses in understanding, preventing and managing obesity and diabetes: PREVIEW Updates
Description
Obesity has become the most important and spread nutritional disease in the XXI century, leading also to a dramatic increase in the incidence of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. In this context, the PREVIEW project, which was funded by the EU 7th FP (2013-2018), as well as National Funds in AUS, NZ and CAN is designed in order to investigate those lifestyles driving to the prevention of type-2 diabetes in obese and overweight individuals at high risk of developing this disease, following criteria of precision medicine. This course will therefore update the knowledge and expertise of prestigious researchers in the control of type-2 diabetes through diet and physical activity. The sessions are devoted to present in an integrated manner the interactions among diet, habits and health, as well as the role of lifestyle interventions, considering the mechanisms regulating body weight metabolism and the immediate challenges in obesity research.

Fermín Milagro Yoldi
Fermín Milagro is a researcher at the Nutrition Research Center of the University of Navarra (where he leads the Biomarkers and Bioactive Compounds research line), and is part of the CIBERobn (Carlos III Health Institute). In recent years he has worked in different lines of research in relation to Nutrigenomics, Nutrigenetics, Epigenetics, Metabolomics and Metagenomics of Obesity and Insulin Resistance, with special emphasis on food-gene interaction, in the identification of new biomarkers through omics technologies (genetics, epigenetics, miRNAs, microbiota, metabolomics) and in the search for bioactive compounds with application in these pathologies. He carries out his research both in intervention studies in humans and in animal models and cell cultures. The main goal is the development of precision nutrition in the field of obesity and its comorbidities. He is the author of more than 200 scientific articles (H-factor = 40) and has participated in 26 research projects
Santiago Navas-Carretero holds a grade in pharmacy by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2002) and a PhD in Nutrition (2007) in the same University, with the honors of European Doctor. He started working in the University of Navarra in 2008, where he has developed his research since then. Currently he is the director of Precision Nutrition Research Line in the Center for Nutrition Research. He is the principal investigator in various research projects and contracts (Nutriprecisión, MedKids, ALINFA and CORALS), apart from taking part as researcher in numerous studies at regional, National and International Level, where his participation in the 7th Framework Programme and H2020 is demonstrated through Food4Me, PREVIEW and SWEET. In addition, ha has authored/co-authored more than 110 scientific research articles or book chapters.
