Ines's research is mainly focused on the knowledge of the different aspects of nuclear receptor function as transcriptional regulators involved in the control of lipid metabolism.

Techniques

Experimental Models of Atherosclerosis (Knock out, knock in, whole body and cell-specific)
Lipid-regulated Nuclear Receptor/Transcription Factor function
Histological and molecular analyses of atherosclerotic plaques
Molecular biology of protein-protein, DNA-chromatin and DNA-protein interactions
Immune cell biology (macrophages, monocytes, T cells)
High-throughput analyses: transcriptomic, metabolomics, proteomics
Use of machine learning though collaborations with computer scientists/mathematical modellers for multi-level integration of omics datasets
