Our Research Lines
Preclinical: Animal Models
We study the role of glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors, as well as the FKBP5 chaperone, in stress resilience and vulnerability. We investigate how GR/MR imbalance promotes neuroinflammation and depressive-like behaviors.
In Humans:
Biomarkers of stress resilience and their correlations with psychometric assessments:
- Biomarkers of stress resilience in the human voice.
- Cortisol measurements in saliva, hair, and nails.
- Inflammatory markers.
