CNIC - Centro Nacional de Investigaciónes Cardiovasculares Carlos III (Spain)

His research is focused on the mammalian mitochondrial electron transport chain (MtETC) and H+ ATP synthase, which together constitute the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system.
He views this system as a functional entity, and uses a range of approaches aimed at determining its role in health and disease. He is particularly interested in the role of the OXPHOS system in the development of the cardiovascular system, its relevance to ischemia-reperfusion, and its influence on microvascular blood flow.
