Rebeca Alvariño Romero

Rebeca Alvariño Romero is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Santiago de Compostela. Her academic and research work is centered on physiological mechanisms related to neurodegenerative disorders and marine toxins.

Her research interests include neuropharmacology, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and the therapeutic potential of natural compounds, particularly in Alzheimer's disease. She is a member of the FARMATOX research group, which focuses on marine toxins: their transduction mechanisms, therapeutic applications, and detection methods.

While no publications or advising activities are listed in the available text, her doctoral work contributes significantly to the understanding of natural compounds in neuroprotection. She collaborates within a specialized research environment focused on marine biotoxins and their biomedical applications.
