2024 EASO – Novo Nordisk Foundation New Investigator Award for Clinical Research

Tenure Track Researcher at the University of Almeria and Torrecardenas University Hospital in Spain, is being recognized for his pioneering research on the role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human metabolism. His ongoing investigations explore the potential presence of previously unidentified BAT depots in women and examine the effects of innovative interventions like exercise or B2 agonists on enhancing BAT thermogenesis. The potential revelation of a new BAT depot and its function in women suggests the possible development of tailored treatments for patients with obesity.
