Angel Gil Hernández (born 1951, Granada) is a Spanish professor at the University of Granada (UGR), Spain in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He is also the Honorary President of the Ibero-American Nutrition Foundation (FINUT).[1]
Early life and education
editGil was born in Granada, Spain in 1951. He earned his degree in Biology at the University of Granada, followed by his PhD in Biological Sciences from the same university.
Research and career
editThe study of the function of dietary nucleotides in early life and the creation of baby nutrition products are just two of professor Gil's many research interests.[2][3] Additionally, the design, development, and assessment of enteral clinical nutrition products, as well as the isolation, identification, and description of the mechanism of action of probiotics and the metabolic, molecular, and genetic factors involved in obesity and the early onset of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in childhood. Having about 50 years of professional experience, Gil is currently an Emeritus Professor at the University of Granada.
Awards and honors
editGil has been honoured with many awards including the Class Fellow of the American Society of Nutrition (2022).
