Specialized on neurodevelopmental disorders and corresponding treatments

Isabel holds the position of Research Scientist at the Spanish National Research Council. Leading a research group at the Institute of Neuroscience CSIC-UMH, she focuses on investigating the neurobiological foundations of neurodevelopmental diseases. As the principal investigator for the project titled “Function of the leak sodium channel NALCN in neurodevelopmental disorders,” her research is rooted in the idea that early identification of neurodevelopmental alterations can inform the design of treatments that alleviate symptoms as neurodevelopmental disorders progress, such as in the case of IHPRF1 and CLIFAHDD syndromes.

The primary goal is to uncover the underlying neurobiological factors contributing to cognitive and motor deficits in animal models of IHPRF1 and CLIFAHDD.
