- Visiting researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, USA) for a cumulative period of 30 months (1997-2007) and 1 year Sabbatical 2015-16 and 4 months (2023-24).

- More than 20 funded projects (2 of them from the NIH).

- More than 75 publications in Neuroscience in indexed scientific journals, including Journal of Neuroscience, Annals of Neurology, J Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, Molecular Brain, Frontiers Molecular Neuroscience, Experimental Neurology, J Comparative Neurology, European Journal of Neuroscience, Molecular Neurobiology, FASEB J and Cellular and Molecular Life Science.

- More than 200 communications at Congresses, most of them international.

- Main recent scientific achievements. To highlight in the neuromuscular system: (1) the description of the integrated functioning of membrane metabotropic receptors (muscarinic, purinergic, neurotrophins and cytokines) and intracellular pathways (PKC and PKA) that, relating pre- and postsynaptic components, adapt the effectiveness of neurotransmission and synaptic stability in different activity situations, in adults, in development and aging; (2) the molecular modifications in the neuromuscular synapse of mice sick with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and how physical exercise is able to reverse these molecular changes.

- Research line: Cellular, molecular and functional neurobiology of the neuromuscular synapse: Synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity, neurotransmission and pathology. Our scientific objective is to study the formation and stabilization of neural connections in both development and adulthood, aging and in experimental neuromuscular degenerative disorders. We use the neuromuscular synapse as a model.

- Scientific collaborations: I have collaborated with multiple research groups from prestigious international research institutions such as: NIH, Stanford University, INSERM, Université Paris, Michigan State University, Basel Univ, Univ de Buenos Aires, Columbia Univ, Cardiff Univ, Verona Univ, Edinburgh University. I have published 20 articles as a result of these collaborations.
