Main lines of research

• Search for inflammation biomarkers in plasma an blood cells from neu-
ropsychiatric disease patients in order to identify and develop new thera-

peutic strategies
´

• Study of protection mechanisms against oxidative and inflammatory cell

damage after stress exposure. Identification of potential therapeutic targets
and evaluation of neuroprotection strategies.

3
• Study of individual mechanisms of susceptibility to stress-induced cell dam- 01
age.
2
RT
• Study of mechanisms through which noradrenaline acts as an anti-inflam- O
EP
matory mediator in stress. Among them, the key role of the chemokine R
AL
MCP-1.

• Study of stress-induced colonic bacteria translocation during brain response A
to stress.

• Elucidation of the mechanisms through which stress exposure increases R
susceptibility and cell damage in Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, BE

brain hypoxia and demyelinating diseases models. Identification of poten-
tial therapeutic targets and evaluation of neuroprotective strategies.
