In May 2016, our research group co-organized the International Symposium on “Omics: Advances, Applications, and Translation in Nutrition” at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (05/9-10/2016, Boston). World-known scientists in the area participated in the conference, including Robert Gerszten, José Florez, Frank Hu and José Ordovás. Four members of our group, Miguel A. Martínez-González, Miguel Ruiz- Canela, Estefanía Toledo and Cristina Razquin, gave one or more speeches at the symposium.
In 2016, Miguel A. Martínez-González, gave three important lectures at the highest international level: 42nd Rankin-Skatrud Lecture (7th of April) at the University of Wisconsin, Medical Grand Rounds (12nd of May) at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Richard Doll Seminar (23th of November) at the Oxford University. In September, was appointed Adjunct Professor by the Harvard University. He was invited as speaker in
12 conferences in the US. One of them was an initiative of the NIH and he was the only European invited speaker. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/research/reports/national-heart-lung-and-blood-institute-workshop-toward- testing-effects-mediterranean-dietary
From the cohorts that our group has set up (SUN, PREDIMED, PREDIMEDPLUS, SENDO, Monkole...), PREDIMEDPLUS is currently the most important. Our group was the unique center that started the recruitment in 2013 and was the one with the highest number of included participants, 628 randomized subjects (>10% of the total) compared to the rest of 23 centers.
We have received funding sources to set up three new cohorts and trials aimed at analyze the potential effects of the Mediterranean diet in the prevention of breast cancer, atrial fibrillation (funded by the Navarra Government) and depression (funded by the FIS).
We obtained funding by national (FIS) and European public institutions (ERA-HDHL) for the ongoing projects, and we have applied for international calls (US-NIH) that are still pending.
Our group publishes, by mean, one new article per week with an increased trend to a higher rate.
