Felipe Casanueva Freijo is a Researcher at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry, Radiology, Public Health, Nursing and Medicine under the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. His research spans obesity, diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolic disorders, with a focus on nutritional interventions, epigenetic mechanisms, and hormonal pathways. He holds a doctoral degree from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1977), where his thesis explored growth hormone regulation.
Key research interests include the efficacy of ketogenic diets, vitamin D supplementation post-bariatric surgery, and the pathophysiology of pituitary tumors such as acromegaly and prolactinomas. He has contributed to international consensus statements on diagnostic standards for acromegaly and Cushing’s disease, emphasizing multidisciplinary care pathways. His work bridges clinical endocrinology with public health, analyzing global trends in diabetes prevalence and obesity-related comorbidities through large-scale epidemiological studies.
Publications highlight his exploration of biomarkers like osteopontin and INSL3, molecular mechanisms linking obesity to accelerated epigenetic aging, and the role of dietary interventions in modulating metabolic and inflammatory markers. Collaborations focus on pituitary tumor centers of excellence (PTCOEs), advancing standardized treatment protocols for hormonal disorders. His research underscores translational applications, aiming to optimize medical management through evidence-based strategies.
