I am a neurologist (at Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, Oviedo) and professor of neurology (at Oviedo University) with research experience in clinical and translational neuroscience (at Oviedo University and at Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria del Principado de Asturias). I am focused on exploring the 360º panoramic of neurodegenerative diseases: from neuropsychology to neuroimaging and from neurogenetics to phenotypes. In the last few years, I am particularly interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration: genes, RNA, and proteins; and in studying brain clearance systems and the molecular dynamics between cells, the interstitial fluid, and the cerebrospinal fluid. I am also interested in developing new systems for targeted drug delivery to the CNS.
