Neuroendocrinology Lab
The laboratory is interested in the role played by IGFs in the adult brain. Knowledge of the biology of these growth factors will help us understand the physiology of neuroprotective processes to mimic or potentiate them with new drugs. Using this approach we have described new neuroprotective mechanisms and novel druggable targets for neurodegenerative diseases.
