Gemma Huguet Blanco

Gemma Huguet Blanco is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Girona (UdG), where she is also the director of the Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology Research Group (GRCT0087) since 2009. Her academic affiliation lies within the School of Sciences, and her expertise spans cellular and molecular neurobiology with a strong focus on cognitive health and disease.

Research Interests: Her primary research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying memory enhancement and neuronal plasticity in both healthy and pathological states. This includes neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive deterioration associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome. A significant aspect of her work involves identifying plasma-based biomarkers for early prognosis and disease monitoring.

Scientific Contributions: Although specific publications and awards are not detailed in the provided text, her active research lines and leadership in a recognized research group indicate ongoing scholarly contributions in neuroscience and cellular biology.

Advising and Grants: As director of the Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology Research Group, she leads a team engaged in multidisciplinary research projects. While specific grant details or advisees are not listed, her role implies mentorship of students and management of research funding through project participation.

Laboratories and Research Teams: She leads the Grup de Recerca en Neurobiologia Cel.lular i Molecular de l'estimulació cerebral (Research Group in Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology of Brain Stimulation), designated as GRCT0087, based at the Edifici Ciències of the University of Girona.
