MARIA DOLORES BARRACHINA SANCHO

MARIA DOLORES BARRACHINA SANCHO is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the Faculty of Medicine and Odontology, University of Valencia. Her academic and research work is centered within the UFDI Digestive and Inflammatory Diseases Research Unit, where she contributes to advancing knowledge in gastrointestinal and inflammatory pathophysiology.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of pharmacology and digestive physiology. With a strong focus on the regulatory mechanisms of gastric acid secretion, her work explores the roles of afferent neural pathways, opioid systems, and endotoxin-mediated responses. These areas reflect a deep engagement with both molecular pharmacology and integrative physiological systems, particularly in the context of inflammatory conditions.

The absence of published articles in the provided text prevents a detailed analysis of recent publication trends. However, her foundational work suggests ongoing contributions to pharmacological research in digestive diseases.

There are no listed scientific awards in the available information.

Dr. Barrachina has supervised doctoral research, including her own PhD thesis completed in 1994 under the supervision of Dr. Juan Esplugues Requena. While no current students are listed, her role as a full professor and thesis supervisor indicates a history of academic mentorship and potential involvement in research grants related to pharmacology and inflammation.

She is actively affiliated with the UFDI Digestive and Inflammatory Diseases Research Unit, a research group dedicated to understanding the mechanisms and treatments of digestive and inflammatory disorders through translational pharmacological approaches.
