Overview

The Neuroscience area is consolidating its position as one of the largest clusters of research labs working on neurological diseases across Europe. Thirteen groups are currently part of this area, working closely with top clinicians at the hospital. The area encompasses different aspects related to neuroscience, such as neural development, neurodegeneration, neuroimmunology, neurological pain, mental health, neurosurgery, pediatric neurology or neuroimaging

There are groups also focused on cell signaling and apoptosis and translational bioinformatics.

Research Areas

Main achievements during 2018:

(I) We demonstrated the long-term efficacy of our gene therapy strategy MNGIE in a preclinical model for the AAV vector (Torres-Torronteras et al, Hum Gen Ther 2018).

(II) We reported two novel mtDNA mutations (m.8305C>T and m.4440G>A) in patients affected with mitochondrial myopathy, further expanding the mutational and phenotypic spectrum of diseases associated with mutations in mitochondrial tRNA genes (Scarpelli et al, Neuromuscul Disord 2018).

(III) We licensed our patent #15170825.2 to Modis Therapeutics, associated to the concomitant signature of a Research Agreement sponsored by the same company.
