His investigation focuses on the understanding of molecular mechanisms that regulate the metabolism and redox homeostasis in the cells of the central nervous system.

After his PhD he worked as a postdoctoral fellow from 1993 to 1995 at the Institute of Neurology of the University College of London as a Marie Curie scholar.

In 2022 together with Giovanni Mariscano and Anne-Karine Bouzier-Sore directed the course Bioenergetics for Brain Functions as part of the Cajal Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme.

[11][12][13] His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate the metabolism and redox homeostasis in the cells of the central nervous system.

In particular, the study of the proteins and signaling pathways responsible for the adaptation of the neural metabolism at high energy demands and antioxidants imposed by neurotransmission.

To attain it, they have a research project consisting of the validation of the protein phosphatase 2c(pp2c) in psychotic states and to tackle the disorder by consumption of cannabis.

[3][14][15] His educational work, research, and academic pathway, have been recognized and awarded in multiple occasions by national and international organizations.

Throughout his career in academia, he has supervised multiple national and international students and directed their doctoral theses, some of them have received European distinction.
