Javier Saez Valero

Javier Saez Valero is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Miguel Hernandez University of Elche, where he also serves as Deputy Vice Rector for Research - Management of Research and Transfer. His academic roles include teaching Biochemistry I in the Bachelor's in Medicine program and courses in the Master's in Neuroscience and Master's in Translational Neuropsychopharmacology, while coordinating the Doctorate in Neuroscience program.

His research focuses on neurochemical mechanisms in neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease biomarker discovery in cerebrospinal fluid and blood. Key areas include NMDA receptor dynamics, ACE2 fragments, apolipoprotein E interactions, and reelin signaling pathways. His work bridges molecular biochemistry with clinical neurology to develop diagnostic tools and understand disease pathogenesis.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a dominant focus on Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, especially CSF protein alterations (nicastrin, ADAM10, ACE2). Significant themes include synaptic vs extrasynaptic receptor distributions, COVID-19 neurological impacts, and nanocarrier drug delivery limitations. His work consistently targets translational applications for early diagnosis and therapeutic development.

Professor Saez Valero provides academic guidance through tutorials and course coordination across undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs. As Doctorate in Neuroscience coordinator, he oversees research training while managing institutional research transfer activities through the Vice Rectorate. His teaching spans biochemistry, neuropathology, and molecular neuroscience with laboratory components.

He operates from Laboratory 241 at the Institute of Neurosciences (Campus de San Juan), a joint research center with CSIC. His work integrates with the university's Vice Rectorate for Research and Transfer, facilitating technology transfer and collaborative neuroscience research within the university's research infrastructure.
