Dr. Emilia Amengual Cladera is a Senior Lecturer with a tenured contract at the University of the Balearic Islands, affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology under the School of Fundamental Biology and Health Sciences. Her teaching responsibilities include courses such as Biochemistry and Nutrition for Nursing, Industrial Biochemistry, and Metabolic Disorders Associated with Obesity and Diabetes at the undergraduate and master’s levels.
Her research focuses on metabolic disorders, diabetes, obesity, and mitochondrial biology, with a particular emphasis on sex differences in metabolic processes. Key areas of investigation include adipose tissue secretome regulation, insulin resistance mechanisms, and the impact of pharmacological agents (e.g., metformin, rosiglitazone) on metabolic health. She also explores genetic variants linked to cardiomyopathies and neurodegenerative diseases, such as transthyretin amyloidosis.
No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided materials. Her academic work includes contributions to pedagogical methods, such as the flipped classroom model in biology education. She has advised students in biomedical research and food/nutrition master’s programs, though specific student names are not listed.
Her research integrates proteomics, mitochondrial function studies, and epidemiological analyses, often using rodent models to dissect diet-induced metabolic changes. Collaborative efforts likely involve multidisciplinary teams within the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, focusing on translational research in metabolic and endocrine disorders.
