Biography
In 1990 I graduated in Biological Science at the University of Valencia and remained there to undertake a PhD under the supervision of Consuelo Guerri at Research Institution (Instituto de Investigaciones Citológicas), which I completed in 1996. During my PhD my dissertation was “Changes of astroglia intermediate filaments gene expression during rat brain development: Effect of alcohol exposure”. I analyze the events which occur during the early stages of astrogliogenesis during brain development, using “in vivo” and “in vitro” experiments. I did experiments in cells in culture primary as radial glia (stem cells in brain), astrocytes and neurons.
Research Interest
Physiology & Alzheimer’s diseases and in inflammation and oxidative stress mechanisms.
