About me

PhD Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2003

Our laboratory works on the study of microglial cells at the interplay between phagocytosis and inflammation in the diseased brain. The research involves the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of the efficiency of microglial phagocytosis.
