I’m Professor at the CSIC, Doctor Honoris Causa from the UAM of Mexico and Visiting Professor at USC (USA). I’ve served as Vice-Director and Director at the IIBB-CSIC, and Vice-President of the governing body of IDIBAPS. I’ve directed 35 doctoral (national and international) theses and authored 36 book chapters and 196 research articles, with an H index of 84. My scientific interests focus on the study of lipid interactions at the cellular and subcellular level, with special emphasis in mitochondria, and their role in chronic liver diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.
