The GEMMAIR group has received the Joan Pedrerol Gallego Award for their study on the relationship between bisphenol A and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease, as well as the impact of a BPA-free diet on this condition
The Study Group on Metabolic Diseases Associated with Insulin Resistance (GEMMAIR) has been awarded the Joan Pedrerol Gallego Award for the social impact of research, granted annually by the Social Council of the Rovira i Virgili University (URV). The awarded project examines the involvement of bisphenol A and its analogs in the pathogenesis of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease, evaluating their intestinal absorption and hepatic effects. Additionally, it studies the impact of a BPA-free diet on disease progression through biochemical, inflammatory, and hepatic biomarkers.
Maria Teresa Auguet, director of the GEMMAIR group, contributed to the award-winning project alongside Helena Clavero, Carmen Aguilar, José Antonio Porras, David Riesco, Salomé Martínez, Margarita Vives, and Fàtima Sabench. Their collective effort showcases the strength of collaboration in impactful research.
The Joan Pedrerol Award from the Social Council of the URV is granted in three fields: social sciences and humanities, experimental sciences, engineering and architecture, and health and life sciences. For each field, there are two categories: ex ante and ex post. The GEMMAIR group’s project received the ex ante award in the health and life sciences field.
