With a progressively ageing population, it is becoming increasingly urgent to understand how organ function is lost progressively with age in order to find strategies that could improve health in the final stages of life. 

In his laboratory work, Macip studies the cellular and molecular bases of ageing and proposes strategies that could impact on this phenotype, ranging from nanotechnology to nutritional manipulation, with the aim of applying them in pre-clinical in vivo studies. 

He also studies the response of B-cell leukaemias to current treatments in order to determine how and why resistance appears and propose alternative treatments (drug combinations, personalized treatments, etc.) that could be more effective.
