Alberto Molina Pérez es investigador postdoctoral en el Instituto de Estudios Sociales Avanzados (IESA-CSIC). Anteriormente, fue investigador "Juan de la Cierva Formación" en la Universidad de Granada. Se doctoró en 2017 en Filosofía por la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Realizó estancias de investigación en las universidades de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (Francia) y de Lausanne (Suiza). Sus principales áreas de investigación son los modelos de consentimiento para la donación de órganos cadavéricos y los criterios de determinación de la muerte. En el primer caso, se trata de entender cómo funcionan los modelos de consentimiento tanto en la ley como en la práctica, especialmente cuando se tienen en cuenta los deseos de los familiares, y de explorar el conocimiento y las actitudes del público hacia dichos modelos. En el segundo caso, se trata de analizar los criterios médicos y legales de determinación de la muerte desde una perspectiva epistemológica y, en particular, de analizar el uso del concepto de función en dichos criterios.
Assistant Research Professor of Neurology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus I am a neurovirologist interested in understanding viral-contributions to multi-system disease states including Alzheimer’s disease, cardio- and cerebrovascular disorders, diabetes, and cancer. I generate large datasets derived from patient samples/clinical data and apply complex bioinformatic analyses to produce meaningful, clinically translatable information such as biomarker and drug target discovery. My research at the level of Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator has been awarded over $17.5 mil from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and resulted in the development of national and international patents for novel drug discoveries to treat debilitating diseases.
