Asuncion Aguilar Calpe

Asuncion Aguilar Calpe is a Professor in the Department of Psychobiology at the Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de València. Her academic and research work is centered on understanding the biological underpinnings of behavior, particularly in the context of addiction.

Her research interests lie primarily in psychobiology and addictive behaviours, with a focus on identifying neurobehavioural mechanisms and endophenotypes associated with substance dependence. She has been actively involved in key research groups such as ENDOFADICC and previously INVESDROGA, both dedicated to the psychobiological study of drug dependence.

Dr. Aguilar Calpe earned her doctorate from the Universitat de València in 1994 with a thesis on the effects of morphine, haloperidol, and sulpiride on conditioned avoidance in male mice, supervised by Dr. Ernesto Simón Pérez. While no specific publications or awards are listed in the provided text, her long-standing affiliation with specialized research groups indicates sustained scholarly activity in her field.
