CRC seminar - Jordi Merino

The CRC seminars bring up current medical research by researchers at Clinical Research Center (CRC), Lund University and invited guests.
Speaker: associate professor Jordi Merino, Copenhagen University, Center for Basic Metabolic Research, Copenhagen, Denmark
Title: “Precision approaches for the prevention of diabetes and related metabolic complications”
Host: Hindrik Mulder
Jordi Merino is a molecular epidemiologist with specific training and expertise in human nutrition, metabolism, and genomics. Dr Merino obtained his PhD in nutrition and lipid metabolism at Rovira I Virgili University, Spain, and completed postdoctoral training in genetic epidemiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was then promoted to instructor at Massachusetts General Hospital, where his research primarily focused on understanding the interplay between genetic and lifestyle factors in the development of diabetes and related metabolic complications.
At CBMR, Associate Professor Merino leads the genomics and precision medicine research group. The group focuses on understanding the molecular heterogeneity that characterizes diabetes and how differences in fundamental molecular processes lead to variable clinical presentation, response to therapeutic interventions, and propensity for developing cardiovascular complications. Towards this goal and inspired by recent advances in precision diabetes medicine, the group leverages multi-omics profiling coupled with wearable devices and deep phenotypic in observational studies and large-scale clinical interventions.
