JAVIER CUITAVI, PhD STUDENT

I am a biotechnologist who studied the Euromediterranean Master's Degree in Neuroscience and Biotechnology. My PhD studies are focused on the role that neuroinflammation plays on alcohol relapse. Above all, I intend to observe the relationship between the neuroinflammatory pathways and Mu Opioid Receptors. Before that, I worked in dr. Guerri Laboratory (València, Spain) on alcohol impairing effects during pregnancy and adolescence. Furthermore, I did a placement at dr. Canal's laboratory (COMPARE; University of Nottingham), in which I applied the BRET technique to my research.
