Dr Sonia Fernández-Veledo, head of the Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Diseases (DIAMET) research group at the IISPV and coordinator of the Metabolic Diseases and Nutrition research area at the same institute, has recently been appointed deputy scientific director of CIBERDEM (Centre for Biomedical Research Network on Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Diseases).
CIBERDEM brings together 29 research groups from all over Spain that are leading studies and projects in the field of diabetes and related diseases. CIBERDEM brings together research groups with different profiles and skills (both clinical and basic), made up of professionals from hospitals, research centres and universities. The research is therefore fundamentally multidisciplinary, collaborative and diverse, with the aim of contributing to improving the health of people with diabetes.
