Laura Piqueras Ruiz

Laura Piqueras Ruiz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, Universitat de València. She is actively affiliated with the INMUNOFARM research group, focusing on Vascular Immunopharmacology.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of pharmacology and immunology, particularly in vascular and gastrointestinal systems. Key areas include inflammatory regulation, immunopharmacological interventions, vascular reactivity, and the role of receptors such as somatostatin in physiological and pathological contexts. Her work primarily involves preclinical models, especially murine systems, to explore disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

The available data does not include recent publications; however, her academic and research profile suggests a strong focus on translational pharmacology within vascular and digestive diseases.

Laura Piqueras Ruiz completed her doctoral studies at the Universitat de València in 2004. Her thesis, supervised by Dr. Vicente Martínez Perea and Dr. Victoria Villagrasa Sebastián, investigated gastric acid secretion control in mice, particularly in relation to gastritis and the absence of the somatostatin type 2 receptor—a foundational study linking receptor biology with gastrointestinal inflammation.

She is actively involved in research through the INMUNOFARM group, which explores immune-vascular interactions and their pharmacological modulation. While specific grants and student supervision details are not provided, her ongoing affiliation and research group membership indicate active scientific engagement and likely mentorship of graduate students and junior researchers.
