PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Vice President of Research Universidad de Chile.

Research topics:

• Neuron-astrocyte communication during aging
• Mechanisms involved in astrocyte senescence. Effects on neuronal function
• Generation of neurons and microglia from cells derived from aged subjects, or with pathologies
  associated with aging (Alzheimer´s and frontotemporal dementias).
• Modifications in mitochondrial function in neurons derived from pathologies of the nervous
  system (ApoE4 and tau variants) in the GERO cohort and others.
• Effects and mechanisms of the ketogenic diet on brain and organism functions in aged animal
  models
• Obesity as an accelerator of aging in a cohort of Chilean subjects
• Healthy aging: Alexandros longitudinal study.
• Molecular and cellular mechanisms
