EDUARD ESTEVE LAFUENTE

Eduard Esteve Lafuente is a Postdoctoral Researcher (R2) in the Nutrition, Eumetabolism and Health department. His research focuses on metabolic disorders, diabetes pathophysiology, and the role of gut microbiota in human health. Key areas include lipid metabolism disorders (e.g., hypercholesterolemia), drug-microbiome interactions (e.g., metformin effects), and cardiovascular outcomes in genetic conditions.

• Conducted multicenter studies on hypercholesterolemia diagnostics and long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
• Explored metformin's impact on gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes patients.
• Investigated biomarkers like hepcidin and microRNAs in metabolic diseases.

His work bridges clinical diagnostics, genetic medicine, and translational research, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to metabolic and cardiovascular health challenges.
