Rocío is a post-doctoral research fellow specialised in GPCR-based drug discovery and functional biology. The main focus of her research is to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the activation and subsequent transduction of the signal of orphan GPCRs implicated in Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia and metabolic disorders. She graduated from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain) with a degree in Cell Biology and Genetics, completing her studies with a Master in Developmental Biology and Genetics (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain). She finished her PhD in Molecular Pharmacology (Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain) before joining MIPS in 2017.
