Presentation and research lines
We are a very young research team that started with the obtention of the tenure track position called Ramon y Cajal fellowship by Albert Giralt, PhD. The group is small but quite social and interactive. We are integrated in the department of Biomedicine of the medical school of the University of Barcelona. Thereby, our team and research lines have acces to the most state-of-the-art technologies and to very enriched scientific environment. Because we are very inclusive, english is the oficial lenguage of the team.
Research on new genetic risk factors in Alzheimer's disease and study of new strategies for gene therapy in rodent models. Focused study in the brain region called hippocampus. Department of biomedicine. Faculty of medicine. Unviersitat de Barcelona. . (03/01/2018 - 02/28/2023)
Research on the formation of neuronal patterns in murine models of depression induced by chronic stress. Focused study in the brain region called hippocampus. Department of biomedicine. Faculty of medicine. Unviersitat de Barcelona. . (03/01/2018 - 02/28/2023)
Research on new risk factors in schizophrenia in murine models. Focused study in the brain region called hippocampus. Department of biomedicine. Faculty of medicine. Unviersitat de Barcelona. . (03/01/2018 - 02/28/2023)
Our research lines are mostly focused with the hippocampal function and its interactions with other brain regions and include:
1. The study of new genetic risk factors in Alzheimer's disease and study of new strategies for gene therapy in rodent models.
2. The characterization of the formation of neuronal patterns in different phases of murine models of depression induced by chronic stress.
3. The evaluation of new risk factors in schizophrenia by using murine models.
