About me

Ramon Trullas earned his Ph.D. at the Autonomous University of Barcelona; his thesis on the mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs received a Doctorate Award. He completed postdoctoral research in the USA as a Fulbright fellow at the Laboratory for Bioorganic Chemistry, NIDDK, NIH, where he continued as an associate scientist in the Laboratory of Neuroscience. His scientific contributions include the formulation of the glutamatergic hypothesis of the mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs and; more recently, the identification of cell-free mitochondrial DNA as a biomarker of neurodegeneration. Currently, his research investigates the role of mitochondrial DNA in neurodegenerative diseases.
