Research Professor at the San Sebastián University. Specialist in Immunology and autoimmune diseases. He is currently a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Science of the San Sebastián University, and his line of research studies how metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota affect the development of autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system. Specifically, it is focused on deciphering how short-chain fatty acids modulate the function of T lymphocytes and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) of the intestinal mucosa of the colon and their effect in a murine model of multiple sclerosis.
