Opportunities for further research in the fields of nutrition and obesity
Dr Nogueiras is a researcher at the Singular Centre for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CiMUS) and a full professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (CIMUS-USC), and thanks to his work in research, he has been recognized for his project “Role of Tanycytes in Nutrient Sensing” which is closely focused on pandemic diseases that involve a high economic, social and health cost such as obesity
During the course of the interview, the doctor comments: “We don’t think there is going to be a magic pill that makes an obese person thin”
Throughout the interview, Rubén thanks Fundación Occident for its commitment to the recognition and importance of the research. He also comments that the award prepares the way for a great, and necessary, opportunity in the study and research in the fields of nutrition and food.
