Our team of scientists work tirelessly in our lab, providing exceptional research that has the potential to change the medical landscape.
Team
LiB-GR was founded by a group of dedicated scientists and researchers who recognized the need for in-depth study into the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms underlying cancer and severe mental disorders. Our team is passionate about their research and are committed to making a difference in the lives of those affected by these diseases.
Dr. Raúl Alelú-Paz
LiB-GR Clinical Area Director
From the classrooms of the UAM where he began his journey in Psychology, to research stays in New York and Parma, his career has been anything but ordinary. A health psychologist and expert in innovative therapies, his time at the Faculty of Medicine allowed him to obtain his doctorate in Medicine and Surgery, and two years later, his second doctorate in Psychology. His deep understanding of the human brain is combined with a unique and multidimensional perspective. His multiple masters reflect an insatiable passion for learning, from anatomy to theoretical physics, psychiatry, genetics, epigenetics or clinical. University Expert in Advanced Programming and Expert in Applied Intelligence in the civil and military field, it is his ability to apply this knowledge that really makes an impact. Collaborator in different national and international centers, among which stand out his stays in the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York or the Department of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Parma with Professor Giacomo Rizzolatti, and author of an impressive catalog of publications and books, his influence in the scientific field is very remarkable. His entrepreneurial spirit shines through, co-founding startups that promise to revolutionize the intersection of science and technology.
Dr. Ariel Ernesto Cariaga-Martínez
LiB-GR Experimental Area Director
From the classrooms of the National University of Misiones in Argentina, where he obtained his degree in Biochemistry, to the renowned facilities of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, this expert has traced a path that is synonymous with excellence, innovation and dedication. His PhD in Biomedicine from the University of Alcalá, complemented by a Master's degree in Data Science, has positioned him as one of the leaders in cancer research. But her passion does not stop in the field of oncology. Since 2015, she has focused her skills in the fascinating world of neuroscience, contributing from her innovative perspective to the study of mental disorders through stem cell-based models. As a lecturer at Alfonso X el Sabio University, he teaches in such crucial areas as biomedicine and neurobiology. His prolific career is backed by an impressive list of scientific publications and presentations at world-renowned conferences. In addition, his entrepreneurial spirit shines through the co-founding of three technology startups, which seek to take science and technology to the next level.
