Maria Andres-Alonso studied Biology at the University of Navarre, Spain, before moving to London to pursue a Master’s degree in Neuroscience at University College London (UCL), UK. She obtained her PhD in 2017, during which she investigated the physiological role of amyloid-beta in neurotransmission. Her research interests subsequently expanded to the mechanisms that maintain proteostasis in neurons, with a particular focus on neuronal organelles and their role in synaptic communication. In October 2025, she joined INIMS to investigate the mechanisms underlying early synaptic dysfunction and network alterations in neuroinflammatory conditions. She is open to supervising and offering MD and Master’s thesis projects in these research areas.
