STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

To study the molecular mechanisms by which cannabinoid receptors act in the brain, as well as the potential validity of these receptors as therapeutic targets in the fields of neurodegeneration, neurorepair, and neuro-oncology. To characterize new mechanisms of action and effects mediated by cannabinoid receptors and to suggest new pathophysiological implications arising from them.

RESEARCH LINES

  • Neurogenesis and neurorepair via cannabinoid receptors.
  • Neuroprotection via cannabinoid receptors.
