Alberto Capurro

Dr. Alberto Capurro is a Non-Clinical Lecturer in Neuroscience at the Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), where he conducts teaching-led research in EEG analysis, temporal lobe epilepsy, tinnitus, and chronic pain. He holds dual PhD in Biology (1999) and MD (1992) from Universidad de la República (UdelaR), Uruguay, and has held research positions at institutions including University of Leicester, King’s College London, and Newcastle University. His work bridges neurophysiology, computational neuroscience, and translational medicine.

• PhD (1999): Biology/Neuroscience, PEDECIBA-UdelaR
• MSc (1994): Neuroscience, PEDECIBA-UdelaR
• MD (1992): Faculty of Medicine, UdelaR
• PGCAP (2023-2025): Queen Mary University of London

Dr. Capurro’s multidisciplinary research focuses on:

• Physiological dynamics of sensory neurons and neural networks
• Translational approaches to epilepsy, tinnitus, and chronic pain
• Development of microelectrode array techniques for pain and neurodegenerative disease research
• Application of dynamical systems, information theory, and gene expression deconvolution

His recent publications emphasize computational modeling of ion channels (Nav1.7), neural network dynamics, and biomimetic systems, with collaborations spanning institutions in the UK, Brazil, Germany, and Uruguay. Key trends include integration of experimental and computational methods for disease modeling and neuroprognostic tools.

Scientific achievements include:

• JSPS Fellowship (Osaka University, Japan)
• Marie Curie Fellowship (University of Leicester)
• Barts Charity grant (2022) for microelectrode array setup
• FAPESP funding (São Paulo University)

Dr. Capurro supervises multiple graduate theses and contributes to academic training through lectures and postgraduate certificate programs. His work involves partnerships with institutions like the Montevideo Tinnitus Centre, London Royal Hospital, and Barts Charity for translational research.
