ENRIQUE SANTAMARIA

Enrique Santamaría obtained the PhD degree in Biochemistry (2005) from the Department of Hepatology and Gene Therapy, University of Navarra (UNAV). After this, he was a postdoc in the group of Fernando Corrales (2006-10) at Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA, Spain), gaining extensive knowledge in proteomic strategies to improve the potency and safety of HSV-1 based-oncolytic vectors. In 2011, he joined the Navarrabiomed Research Center as the Head of the Clinical Neuroproteomics Unit. His interest is focused on the characterization of mechanisms associated to brain function and neurodegeneration using olfactory multi-omic approaches, in order to establish novel biomarkers and future intranasal therapies. Throughout his scientific career, he has authored more than 150 papers, 25 chapter books and supervised multiple Master, Ph.D. students and postdocs. He is member of the Spanish Proteomics Network, European Proteomics Association (EuPA), Spanish Olfactory Network (ROE), Global Consortium for Chemosensory Research (GCCR) and an active researcher in the international Human Brain Proteome Project.
