Jose Miñarro Lopez

Jose Miñarro Lopez is a Professor in the Department of Psychobiology at the Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de València. He is a leading member of the INVESDROGA research group, focused on the psychobiology of drug dependence.

His research interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience and behavior, particularly in understanding the biological underpinnings of addiction and the impact of stress and pharmacological agents on behavioral outcomes. His work is grounded in experimental models, especially rodent behavioral paradigms.

He completed his doctoral studies at the Universitat de València in 1987 with a thesis titled Influencia del estrés y el haloperidol sobre la conducta agonística en ratones macho, which explored the effects of stress and haloperidol on aggressive behavior in male mice.

While no recent publications are listed in the provided text, his long-standing affiliation with psychobiology and drug dependence research suggests a sustained contribution to behavioral neuroscience and addiction science.

He advises students and researchers within the INVESDROGA group, contributing to training the next generation of psychobiologists, though specific advisees are not named in the current data.

The INVESDROGA research group serves as the primary hub for his scientific activities, focusing on the neurobiological mechanisms of substance use disorders.
