About

Albert Lecube is a leading clinician-scientist whose work bridges endocrinology and metabolic surgery, with a focus on the pathophysiology and treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. His research has significantly advanced understanding of how bariatric surgery alters glucose metabolism and cardiovascular risk, particularly through studies on incretin hormones and adipose tissue dysfunction. Lecube’s landmark paper, “Bariatric Surgery Outcomes in a European Centre of Excellence” (2013), with 22 citations, established key benchmarks for surgical safety and efficacy in European cohorts, influencing clinical guidelines. He has also contributed to the characterization of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obese populations and the role of hypoxia in adipose tissue inflammation. With over 100 publications and an h-index exceeding 30, Lecube’s work has been cited more than 3,000 times, reflecting its impact on both clinical practice and translational research. He is a sought-after speaker at international congresses and has received awards from the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition for his innovative contributions to obesity medicine.
