Universidad San Pablo CEU

Our research group is made up of basic science researchers with experience in different areas such as endocrinology and neuropharmacology demonstrating extensive experience in neurochemical experiments, electrophysiological recordings and different behavioral techniques. Our research aims at characterizing basic mechanisms involved in HFD-mediated impairment of learning and memory, and thus could contribute to design strategies aimed at preventing neurobiological disorders linked to cognitive processes. Our studies have made some relevant contributions to this field substantiated by several publications in indexed journals.

The members of this group have always had funding from different agencies, both private and public. The investigators are as PI, Dr. Cano and other scientific collaborators as Dr. Ruiz Gayo, Dr. Del Olmo and Dr. Merino. Moreover, we have predoctoral students and collaborators from our University and others.

Our group belongs to the Departamento de Farmacología, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad CEU-San Pablo. Our laboratory has available equipment and infrastructures:

• General Pharmacology laboratory equipment (western-blotting, PCR, etc).
• Proteomics equipment.
• Electrophysiology “in vitro” for extracellular recording.
• Neuropsychopharmacology equipment (preference place conditioning, passive avoidance, recognition for objects, elevated plus maze, radial maze, etc…).
