Roman Blanco Velasco

Roman Blanco Velasco is a University Professor in the Department of Surgery, Medical and Social Sciences at the University of Alcalá (UAH). He leads the research group focused on Motor and Visual System Neurophysiology, conducting interdisciplinary work that bridges ophthalmology, neurology, and physiology.

His research interests focus on Visual Neurophysiology, particularly the application of multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and visual evoked potentials (VEP) in clinical diagnostics. His work spans Retinal Diseases, Nervous System Disorders, Neuromuscular Physiology, and Ophthalmology, with special emphasis on glaucoma detection and multiple sclerosis assessment.

Dr. Blanco Velasco's publication record shows consistent output from 2004 through 2024, with recent work focusing on advanced signal processing techniques for visual pathway assessment. His research demonstrates evolution from basic animal models to sophisticated clinical applications and diagnostic algorithms.

His scientific contributions include:

• Development of novel diagnostic approaches for glaucoma using wavelet analysis of mfERG signals
• Application of visual evoked potentials in monitoring multiple sclerosis progression
• Creation of animal models for ocular hypertension research
• Investigation of retinal ganglion cell pathology in inherited retinal diseases

Dr. Blanco Velasco has secured consistent research funding, with principal investigator roles in projects from 2004 through 2022. His work demonstrates strong collaboration across disciplines and institutions, particularly in neuro-ophthalmology research. His laboratory focuses on the Motor and Visual System Neurophysiology, providing a platform for both basic science investigations and clinical applications in visual pathway disorders.
