Our overall aim is to understand the nanoscale physiology of the brain. Hereunder the role of the brain extracellular space (ECS) in signalling and metabolite clearance through modulation of diffusion, and the integrated regulation by multiple partners of synaptic signalling, beyond the mere pre- and post-synapse pair. To pursue these research lines we combine electrophysiology and fluorescence imaging in live brain slices, allowing us to read out structure and function.

The Membrane Trafficking Laboratory, led by Ikerbasque Research Professor Aitor Hierro at the Biofisika Institute (CSIC-UPV/EHU) in Leioa, Spain, studies intracellular receptor recycling, crucial for nutrient uptake, signal transduction, immune surveillance, and waste management. Disruptions in this process are linked to diseases like cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders.

En nuestro grupo trabajamos en el desarrollo de Biosensores que nos permitan estudiar cómo funciona el cerebro a nivel molecular, y que en el futuro puedan aplicarse para el diagnóstico y caracterización de enfermedades neurológicas.
