EVA MARIA ASENSIO MARQUEZ

EVA MARIA ASENSIO MARQUEZ is an Assistant Professor at the Universitat de València, affiliated with the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences and the Department of Preventive Medicine. She is a member of the EPIGEM (Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology) research group, where she contributes to studies in genetic and molecular aspects of chronic diseases.

Her research focuses on genetic epidemiology, particularly in identifying genetic variants associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Her work bridges molecular biology and public health, aiming to understand how genetic factors interact with lifestyle to influence disease risk. Key areas include preventive medicine, chronic disease prevention, and biomarker discovery.

Her doctoral research, completed in 2017 at the Universitat de València, was titled Análisis de los factores que influyen en el efecto de variantes genéticas en el riesgo de obesidad y diabetes, supervised by Dr. Dolores Corella Piquer and Dr. Carolina Ortega Azorín. Though no publications or advisees are listed in the provided text, her affiliation with EPIGEM suggests active collaboration in large-scale genetic studies.

She has not been noted to have received any scientific awards in the provided information.

Dr. Asensio Marquez advises students within her research group and may be involved in grant-funded projects related to genetic epidemiology, although specific grants or students are not mentioned. Her work likely contributes to ongoing public health initiatives at the university.

She is part of the EPIGEM – Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology research group, which conducts population-based studies integrating genomics, nutrition, and chronic disease outcomes.
