ORCID: 0000-0003-3890-8279
Scientific Profile: URECERCA
Part-time associate professor at the University of Vic-Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC) teaching physiology and anatomy at the Degree in Nursing and Adjunct professor at the University of Barcelona (UB).
His research career initiated in neurodevelopmental and continued on adult brain plasticity studies and the role of extracellular matrix but, nowadays, he has a focus on studying the protective role of developmental-reminiscent mechanisms in neurodegenerative pathologies as Alzheimer’s disease. He is experienced in transdisciplinary projects and interested in translational research.
Ph.D in Neurosciences (UB, 2006) and Degree in Biochemistry (UB, 2000). Student of the Master in University Teaching (ongoing, 2019-2021).

Regulation of young-adult neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation by neural cell adhesion molecule 2 (NCAM2)
Article: Regulation of young-adult neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation by neural cell adhesion molecule 2 (NCAM2) Authors: Antoni Parcerisas (co-primer autor) i Lluís Pujadas (co-autor de correspondència) Link: Regulation of young-adult neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation by neural cell adhesion molecule 2 (NCAM2) | Cerebral Cortex | Oxford Academic (oup.com) Abstract: Adult neurogenesis persists in mammals in the neurogenic zones, where newborn neurons are incorporated into preexisting circuits to preserve and improve learning and memory tasks. Relevant structural elements of the neurogenic niches include the family of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), which participate in signal transduction [...]
TR2Lab creates a new research line in Neuronal Plasticity in Health and Disease
TR2Lab creates a new research line focused on neuroscience Proud to create a new research line to study processes related to repair and regeneration mechanisms occurring in the central nervous system from a multidisciplinary perspective. The new research line in "Neuronal Plasticity in Health and Disease" will be focused on the understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating neuronal plasticity under physiological and pathological conditions. One of the main interests will be the study of developmental-like mechanisms that remain active in the adult brain with protective roles against neuronal pathologies. The progression of neurodegenerative diseases will be investigated focusing on [...]
