ORCID ID: 0000-0003-2897-6227

Born in a small village at Seville (Bollullos de la Mitación) in 1968, I obtained a degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Seville in 1992. I began my research formation in the Neuroscience Laboratory of the Department of Animal Physiology at the Biological Sciences School. I achieved my PhD in Biological Sciences at the University of Seville in 1997 with the defense of a research work carried out as the result of a collaboration between the Autonomous University of Madrid and the University of Seville. In 1998, I joined the University of Cadiz with a postdoctoral fellowship. Later, I obtained a position of University School Lecturer in 1999 that it became an University Lecturer in 2008. Finally, since 2016 I am Full Professor in the discipline of Human Physiology. I became an independent senior researcher at 2002 and in 2007 I founded, as the Chairman, the Neurodegeneration and Neurorepair Group (CTS597).
