About us

The Research Group on Biomarkers, Exposome, and Nutritional and Food Metabolomics is composed of an international and multidisciplinary team of more than 10 doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, supported by collaborators from prestigious international institutions.

Under the leadership of Professor Dr. Cristina Andrés-Lacueva, we strive for excellence and aim to be a benchmark in Targeted Metabolomics Methodology and Exposome Analysis, applied to Food Science and Healthy Aging.

Science Made in Barcelona

The Research Group on Biomarkers, Exposome, and Nutritional and Food Metabolomics is part of the Department of Nutrition, Food Science, and Gastronomy at the University of Barcelona, the CIBER on Frailty and Healthy Aging (CIBERFES), the Fun-C-Food Consolider project, and the Food-Omics Network.

Our research focuses on biomarkers of consumption, effect, and disease risk in nutritional and epidemiological studies, using both targeted and untargeted metabolomics approaches. We are distinguished by our strong international presence in the field of healthy aging, actively engaging in various European initiatives and collaborations.

Strategic Pillars

The four pillars of our research group encompass Academia, Research, Open Science, and Technology Transfer, forming a comprehensive framework of excellence for success in this field.
