Marian Castro

Dr. Marian Castro is an Associate Professor in Physical Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Her research focuses on supramolecular chemistry and GPCR pharmacology with applications in neuropharmacology and drug discovery.

Education: PhD in Molecular Medicine and Master in Biomedical Research from the University of Santiago de Compostela.

Research integrates fluorescence spectroscopy and computational methods to study molecular recognition processes in biological systems, particularly neurotransmitter receptors and enzyme targets. Her group develops multitarget ligands for neurological disorders and novel drug delivery systems.

Recent publications (2015-2022) demonstrate strong focus on receptor biochemistry, antipsychotic drug design, and nanomedicine approaches for neurodegenerative diseases.

Extensive collaborative network includes institutions across Europe, India, and Israel. Laboratory facilities include fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and molecular modeling capabilities.
