Biography and Research Interest
I did my Ph.D. in the University of Salamanca (Spain) on the pharmacology of opioid receptors in the zebrafish. After 10 years of post-doc working on the neural crest and evolution, I moved to University of Barcelona. Here, we are using the zebrafish as a model for diseases related to ion fluxes in different tissues.
