Strategic objectives

• Four active research projects from the National Plan.
• Six publications in the first quartile from our area of knowledge.
• Two reliably active collaborations with other members of IRYCIS or Ramón y Cajal Hospital (supported in joint projects, joint publications or joint lines of development).
• An annual scientific talk for the entire Institute (with a prior invitation).
• Facilitate the cooperation of other members of IRYCIS in at least one annual teaching activity of Alcalá University.
• Maintain regular collaboration with at least 1 private company.

Research lines

• Integrin-linked kinase: a possible biomarker of progression of chronic renal disease (CRD) and modulator of the monocyte dysfunction responsible for cardiovascular damage.
• Integrin-linked kinase: its role in the progression of insulin resistance and the development of obesity.
• Importance of phosphorous in the development of vascular alterations in the elderly and patients with arteriosclerosis. New approaches for the evaluation of the problem.
• Importance of phosphorous in the development of sarcopenia in the elderly and patients with chronic renal disease. New approaches for the evaluation of the problem.
• Mass data analysis in the prevention of hemodialysis-associated complications.
