Dr. M. Luisa Bonet is Full Professor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, senior researcher at the group of Nutrigenomics and Obesity (NUO) of the UIB, Secretary of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Nutrition and Biotechnology (LBNB) of the UIB, and a member of the Spanish research of excellence platform in the field of nutrition and obesity CIBERobn and of IdISBa. She has extensive background in molecular nutrition, nutrigenomics and physiopathology of obesity. Her main topics of research relate to the mechanisms regulating body weight and adiposity in mammals and their control by dietary factors, including the impact of early life nutrition in the programming of obesity and related health outcomes. She has focus particularly in the role of vitamin A and carotenoids in these contexts. She is also interested in the role of cell cycle regulatory proteins in adipocyte biology and the control of energy metabolism. In connection with her research, she has expertise in the relationships between diet and health, risk-benefit analysis of food, and functional foods for obesity.
