The research involved clinical and scientific activities. One of the main activities relates to human studies of the metabolism of dietary compounds derived from natural products including soluble fiber, cocoa products,  phenolic compounds (from virgin olive oil or from thyme or from citrus juice, etc ); and probiotics, focused on their health benefits in cardiovascular disease. Dra Sola is the coordinator of the NFOC-SALUT: Functional Nutrition, Oxidationand cardiovascular disease group-2014SGR873 and 2017GR 522. Group's expertise encompasses not only molecular mechanisms underlying acute and sustained responses to dietary intervention inpopulations, but alsobioavailability of ingested bioactive compounds.  The group also worked in educational intervention school-based and health promotion in adolescents. The composition group is:  Rosa-M Valls, PhD, Lector Post-doctoral Nutritionist, Anna Pedret, PhD Nutritionist- Contract TORRES QUEVEDO 2016,  Montse Giralt, MD, PhD, Physician; Associate Professor in Medicine; Úrsula Catalán, PhD, Biologist and Food Technology Scientist-Post-Doctoral Contract PERIS 2016; Marta Romeu, PhD, Post-doctoral Biologist, Associate Professor in Medicine; Sara Fernandez-Castillejo, PhD, M Rosa Nogués PhD, Pharmacien, associated professor. The group includes clinical staff, pre-doctoral students, as well as technical personnel. Dr. SOL? also has a long-lasting experience in the field on academic training and research management because she was the research vice-rector of Universitat ROVIRA I VIRGILI until May 2014.

During her Post-doctoral stage (36 months), she was Principal Investigator (PI) (1988-1990) and Visiting Research Fellow Research (1987-1988) on Nutrition, Université Paris 13- INSERM.

The investigation has been materialized in more than 133 research articles according JCR, and Spanish journals, book chapters, 1 patent, 1 open innovation marketplace by Innoget technology offers and also scientific work supporting a declaration of a Novel Food. Communications to Congresses/Symposia and invited conferences have been presented. Several awards have been obtained. In addition, Dra Sola has participated in European and national projects.
