Neuroscience area

Objectives and lines of research

– Role of cannabinoid CB1 receptor and endocannabinoid ligands in axonal remyelination in spinal cord injury and demyelinating pathologies.
– Study of the role of autoimmunity and inflammation in the pathogenesis of spinal cord injury.
– Comparative study of neurogenic niches in the spinal cord, their relationship with the presence of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and the occurrence of ependymal tumors.
– Studies of molecular and cellular mechanisms for tissue repair “Pressure Ulcers”. Cell-based therapies. Regenerative medicine
– Incidence and outcome of COVID infection in patients and workers in healthcare facilities. National Hospital of Paraplegics
– Study of the molecular interactions of proteins involved in the etiology of Kallmann syndrome (anosmin 1/PKR2) and its implication in inflammatory processes, pain or cancer.
