Analysis of the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling the development of the most anterior region of the brain, the telencephalon

Our research group is composed by the principal investigator, one associated research professor, two research assistant professors and two pre-doctoral students. The group belongs to the Spanish Network on Addictive Disorders since 2008. Over the past years, the PI and his team have coordinated 6 basic-clinical research projects, several competitive national projects (highlighting the National Plan for Drug Abuse) and the Scientific Research State Plan. Our work has been published in the best scientific journals (first decile). The PI has more than 4008 citations reaching an H index of 36.

We are interested in inflorescence architecture and its evolution. We aim to understand the genetic networks that control the development of the inflorescence and how they have evolved to generate the great diversity of inflorescence architectures present in nature. We also aim to develop biotechnological tools to improve crop yield through the modification of plant and inflorescence architecture.

The research group is interested in the design of innovative agricultural goods using genomics and biotechnology tools.

Since 2000, the group has been leading initiatives to develop computing techniques and infrastructures for simulation and massive data processing: European (EOSC, EGI), international (CERN Tier-2 CMS) and national (e-Science network and ICTS Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES), Altamira node, first official master's degree in Data Science).

Our team studies cerebrovascular disease physiopathology. Stroke is a devastating disease of sudden and commonly unpredictable onset. About 1.20 million strokes occur each year in the EU, and about 25% of men and 20% of women can expect to suffer a stroke if they live to be 85 years old. Aging is associated to gradual vascular dysfunction that can acquire diverse manifestations like small vessel disease, or multiple microinfarcts and microhemorrhages often associated with common pathologies such as arterial hypertension.
