Neuroscientist fascinated by #ionchannels Studying #pain mechanisms. Fan of world travel, #hiking , the oceans and good books.
I co-direct the Sensory Transduction and Nociception Group at the Institute of #Neurosciences in Alicante (Spain)
Muy agradecido a Grünenthal España por permitirme opinar sobre los avances en el campo de los #canales_ionicos y su relevancia en el tratamiento del #dolor_cronico y el trabajo de @painchannels.bsky.social en el @neuroalc.bsky.social

I had a very intense and enjoyable day at UNAM Juriquilla Campus in Queretaro 🇲🇽 Talked about my favourite TRP channels and discussed science with students and faculty. Thank you to Prof. Miguel-Condes Lara for amazing hosting, great food and introducing me to a real mariachi!

Rapamycin's Secrets | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/blog...
#Rapamycin is a fascinating molecule with many biological effects. Happy that @dereklowe.bsky.social highlighted the findings by our group @painchannels.bsky.social and our friends in Leuven on direct TRPM8 activaton by rapamycin.

Translating our knowledge of #chronicpain mechanisms into novel #analgesics has proven exceedingly difficult. Which are the major bottlenecks? Can we find ways to bypass them?
@neuroalc.bsky.social hosts a roundtable with 3 distinguished pain researchers to discuss this problem. Admission is free!

It was a real privilege to attend 131 International Titisee Conference on the Impact of Temperature on Physiology and Behavior organized by Boheringer Ingelhein Fonds, and present the work of @painchannels.bsky.social on Pathophysiology of TRP channels
Incredible rich program in beautiful location

Dune does not look particularly worried about her visit to the vet. #catlife #cats

I shall introduce Dune, our new family member, to all of you. Besides sleeping many hours, she has been exploring every single corner of our apartment. So far, the antennae of the spiny lobster is one of her favourite toys #cats #catlife

Thank you Ardem for highlighting our work. Science is global indeed. You may recall I offered you to be part of the manuscript but you graciously declined, and said we should include Ajay Dhaka, the Indian-born postdoc that generated the M8 KO vital for the study
