MANUEL FREIRE-GARABAL NUÑEZ

Manuel Freire-Garabal Nuñez is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology within the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. His research focuses on pharmacology, neuropharmacology, and endocrinology, particularly examining the effects of dopaminergic drugs on biological systems. He obtained his doctoral degree from USC in 1989 with a thesis titled "Effects of dopaminergic agonist and antagonist drugs on animal behavior and plasma, hypothalamic and adenohypophyseal concentrations of beta-endorphin", supervised by Dr. Angel Belmonte Vicente.

He is associated with the SNL Laboratory and the SNL-Lennart Levi Laboratory, contributing to studies in dependency (e.g., substance dependency), gerontology, and geriatrics. His work bridges clinical pharmacology with molecular mechanisms, emphasizing translational research in drug action and aging-related health challenges.

No grants, awards, or recent publications are explicitly listed in the provided text, though his academic profile suggests continued engagement in pharmacological research and education.
