Dr Rodriguez got his degree in Biology in 1995 and moved to the School of Medicine of the Universitat de Barcelona where, in 2000, obtained a PhD in Molecular Pathology. After that, he stay at the same laboratory working on the cellular and molecular basis of neurodegeneration. In 2003, Manuel performed a second postdoctoral stay at the Dept of Pharmacology of the UCL in London, working on the molecular biology of K channels. His scientific interest during all these years has been focused in the excitotoxic mechanisms involved in acute and chronic brain pathologies. Back in the UB, as a consequence of the scientific activities of the Neurochemistry Group, he joined an exciting new project with the foundation in 2006 of Neurotec Pharma.
