Research

My research is based on characterizing new target proteins involved in the
biological bases of Alzheimer's disease. In particular, I am studying the AD
pathophysiological role of the intramembrane signal peptide peptidase like 2b
(SPPL2b). For this purpose, we use the new AD mouse model, the APP-knock-in
mouse AppNL-G-F and the SPPL2b deficient mouse line. My research is also
concerned with evaluating the role of the endocannabinoidergic system (ECS)
in neurological-related disorders and the biological mechanisms by which ECS
is involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.
