  • Full professor of Pharmacology (December 2017-), Functional Coordinator of the Area of Pharmacology and Nutrition (January 2018-), and member of the URJC-IQM Commission (June 2018-). 4 Docentia (last one: 2015-17), 3 5-year teaching (last one: 2010-15) and 3 6-year research (last one: 2011-16) periods.  Principal investigator of the Research Group NeuGut (URJC), interested in the physiopathology and pharmacology of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Our group was the first to characterize the enteric neuropathies occurring as sequelae of chemotherapy in preclinical models, and to determine the effects of cannabinoid agonists and antagonists to alleviate/prevent the associated GI motility alterations. GI motility alterations associated with aging, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes and pharmacologic and nutritional therapeutic strategies are also being addressed in our lab. We have developed our own methods to evaluate GI tract motility in experimental animals, which have been adopted by other groups. We are interested in characterizing, using sophisticated computerized methods in collaboration with engineers (fluoroscopy, ultrasound vocalization), subtle alterations of GI motility and visceral sensitivity present in models of irritable bowel syndrome, metabolic syndrome and schizophrenia, and differences associated to gender. Close collaborators: Dr. Uranga (URJC), Dr. Fichna (U. Lodz, Poland), Dr. Nurgali (Victoria U., Australia), Dr. Soto-Montenegro (IiSGM, Madrid) and Dr. del Castillo (CIAL-CSIC-UAM, Madrid).  

    31 research projects (5 as Principal Investigator). 16 research contracts. 55 articles in indexed journals (>80% as first/last/corresponding author), 7 articles in non-indexed journals, 5 chapters in national books, 5 chapters in international books, 1 e-book as guest editor for the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology. 13 invited talks at national (8) and international (5) meetings and 10 talks at different national (4) and international institutions (6). Supervisor of 4 PhD theses (2 with European Mention and Doctorate Extraordinary Award), 8 Final Master Assays and 39 Final Degree Assays, as well as several students from other national and international institutions during their degree practical/predoctoral training in our lab. Reviewer of more than 100 manuscripts in more than 40 indexed journals, 1 international book chapter and 37 research projects for international entities. Member of the editorial board of the journal Neurogastroenterology and Motility (from May 2018). Co-director of the Annual Madrid Meeting of Pharmacologists in 2017 (Farmadrid 26).
