Jordi Merino Associate Professor Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen

Jordi Merino is an Associate Professor and molecular epidemiologist specializing in human nutrition, metabolism, and genomics. With a Ph.D. in nutrition and lipid metabolism from Rovira i Virgili University and postdoctoral training in genetic epidemiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, he now leads the genomics and precision medicine research group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen.

Jordi Merino's research aims to understand the molecular heterogeneity of diabetes. He studies how molecular processes and behavioral factors influence diverse clinical trajectories, responses to therapeutic interventions, and varying propensities for developing cardiovascular complications. Using advanced techniques like multi-omics profiling, wearable devices, and phenotypic analyses, his team refines strategies for diabetes management and prevention, contributing to the field of precision medicine.
