I obtained my bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and landed in the Dept of Pharmacology at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) by the hands of Prof. Mª Isabel Martín Fontelles, who put me under orders of Prof. Carlos Goicoechea, my PhD supervisor and director of the research group (High-Performance Experimental Pharmacology Research Group, PHARMAKOM) I have belonged to ever since. I teach pharmacology and nutrition courses in several degree programs (Biomedical Engineering, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Food Science and Technology, Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Physiotherapy), both in English and Spanish. Over the years I have specialized in different animal models of pain (mainly chronic musculoskeletal and joint disorders and peripheral polyneuropathies), functional and behavioral tests and, particularly, I have been studying the action of cannabinoid and opioid drugs, and the pharmacological modulation of the neuroimmune system. Recently, I have also taken part in projects related to chronic neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., glaucoma, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease). I am the author of over 20 science articles, chapters in three books and over 30 communications to science congresses. Over these years I have established collaborations with different professors and investigators from national and international institutions, as well as supervised the internships of different national and international students.
