HERNANDEZ ESPINOSA, DIEGO ROLANDO

I am a Research Instructor in the Thathiah lab at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. I received my MD from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) School of Medicine and my Ph.D. in biomedical sciences in neuropathology from the same institution. My research focuses on characterizing the processes that govern the inflammatory response in the nervous system and how to modulate them to promote neuronal survival during neurodegeneration. I am also interested in disseminating knowledge to the general public and promoting science to benefit the human community.
