Neurofarmacologia i dolor

grup d

El grup centra la seva recerca en la comprensió de la funció dels receptors de neurotransmissors en salut i malaltia. Per tant, el seu principal objectiu és traduir els resultats del laboratori al pacient i la pràctica clínica. En conseqüència, busquen noves estratègies farmacològiques per assolir una gestió eficaç de malalties neurològiques, neuropsiquiàtriques, inflamatòries, autoimmunes i del dolor.

 

  • Línies Estratègiques
  1. Implementació de la Fotofarmacologia  en el tractament de malalties del sistema nerviós central, inflamatòries i autoimmunes.
  2. Oligomerització de receptors acoblats a proteïna G, canals iònics i proteïnes interaccionants en el marc de les malalties neuropsiquiàtriques i dolor.
  3. Estudi de la funcionalitat de les interaccions oligomèriques en models animals per establir les bases del tractament farmacològic combinat.
  4. Avaluació clínica dels medicaments en les malalties neuropsiquiàtriques i dolor amb mètodes
