MÉS INFORMACIÓ
The Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Diseases Research Group (DIAMET)
is a multidisciplinary and dynamic research group focused on the study of
metabolic disorders associated with diabetes mellitus morbidity and obesity.
The research group is led by Dr. Sonia Fernandez-Veledo and Dr. Joan
Vendrell and is comprised of clinical and basic researchers, technicians and
administrative support staff.
The succinate-SUCNR1 axis is a molecular target that is receiving increasing interest from Pharma companies. Succinate is at the cross-road of several metabolic pathways and plays a wide range of immune-regulatory roles that are very relevant in obesity and its associated comorbidities. Previous attempts in targeting this pathway have failed.
DIAMET research team is an expert in the succinate-SUCNR1 axis. It is a truly translational research team focused on DIAbetes and METabolic diseases and with the ability to execute in vitro, in vivo, and human studies. The ultimate aim of DIAMET is to identify novel therapeutic tools that can be
transferred to society and, accordingly, the team has several projects ongoing with strong innovation potential.
This project aims to execute appropriate, intensive, and dedicated innovation activities to transform DIAMET knowledge into novel treatments and tools for patients with obesity-related disorders.
The Innovation Manager will be in charge of the intellectual property strategy, market studies, valuation, and contact with potential clients (Pharma companies) to increase its transferability potential and commercial value and, ultimately, get them transferred.
The selected candidate will perform the following tasks:
