Manuel Garrosa Garcia

Manuel Garrosa Garcia is a Professor at the University of Valladolid, affiliated with the Department of Cellular Biology, Genetics, Histology and Pharmacology and the Castile and Leon Institute of Neuroscience. His career spans over four decades, beginning with a PhD in 1983 on the histogenesis of the rat vomeronasal organ under Dr. Luis Zamorano Sanabra.

Education

• PhD in Biology, Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1983)

Research Focus
Dr. Garrosa Garcia's work bridges Neuroscience, Histology, and Pharmacology with translational applications in Toxicology and Sports Medicine. His foundational research explored vomeronasal organ development and plant lectin toxicity (e.g., ebulin from elderberry), while recent work addresses post-COVID-19 rehabilitation, vaccine efficacy, and athletic performance. His interdisciplinary approach integrates molecular mechanisms with clinical outcomes, particularly in respiratory function and neural regeneration.

Publication Trends
Analysis of his 2020-2025 publications reveals a strategic pivot toward pandemic-responsive research: randomized trials on respiratory training for CrossFit athletes post-SARS-CoV-2, biomarker analysis in elevation mask training, and Comirnaty® vaccine studies. Concurrently, he maintains expertise in plant toxin mechanisms and histological methods, demonstrating sustained innovation from basic science to clinical applications in sports medicine and neuropharmacology.

Research Infrastructure
He leads the Neurobiology group at the Castile and Leon Institute of Neuroscience, utilizing advanced models like triple-layered co-cultures for retinal degeneration studies and reversible mouse models for gut injury. His lab bridges histological expertise with physiological testing, fostering collaborations across sports science, oncology, and vaccine research.
