Mª Ángeles Martín Arribas

Maria Angeles Martín Arribas is Tenured Scientist at the Institute of Food Science, Technology and Nutrition (ICTAN) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She obtained her B.S. degree in Biology from the University Complutense of Madrid in 1991 and her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the same university in 1995. She started her research career in the Institute of Biochemistry (IB, CSIC-UCM) and in 2005, she moved to the ICTAN (CSIC). Since 2007, she participates as a Researcher at the Centro de Investigación Biomédicas en Red de Diabetes y Enfermedades Metabólicas Asociadas (CIBERDEM), which brings together 29 top Spanish Research Groups in the field of diabetes and associated diseases. She is currently the Head Researcher of the NUTRALMET (Nutrition and Metabolic Alterations) Group (https://www.ciberdem.org/grupos/grupo-de-investigacion?id=16904) of CIBERDEM.

Her research activity is focused on the study of natural bioactive compounds, mainly polyphenols, with favourable effects against diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, with special attention on diabetes and its complications associated. Her interest is also focused on the characterization of the specific molecular mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects of these compounds including their relationship with gut microbiome and their potential impact in metabolome.
