Fivos Panetsos is Professor at UCM, Director of the Neuro-computing and Neuro-robotics Research Group at UCM and Director of the Neural Plasticity Research Group at IdISSC Hospital, Madrid.
He is PhD in Medicine & Surgery, PhD in Biology, Dottore in Mathematics and Specialist in Artificial Intelligence and Mathematical Modeling. He has been Assist Prof at Univ Carlos III and UNED-Spain and visiting scientist at several Universities worlwide. His Research Group carried out more than 40 RD projects, has 4 spin-off companies, 19 patents in EU, USA, etc. and won the 1st prize of the World Intellectual Property Organization of the UN. UCM has 33 Faculties, 5.600 academics, 22 Research Centers of Excellence and 3.372 funded projects (2014).
We are interested in: hybrid biomaterials for brain repair and interfaces with sensory neuroprostheses; plasticity of the central nervous system induced by damage of the sensory pathways; regeneration of amputated peripheral nerves and their connection to sensory neuroprostheses; ischemic stroke and autoimmune diseases therapy by modulating the immune response through vagus nerve stimulation.
