Artur Llobet

Artur Llobet is an Associate Professor at the Universitat de Barcelona, specifically within the Department of Pathology and Therapeutic Experimental. His research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission, exploring how synapses process information in the brain and their roles in cognition, sensory adaptation, learning, and memory. He employs a multidisciplinary approach that includes electrophysiology, imaging, and molecular assays to investigate these processes.12

Research Interests

Llobet's major research interests include:

• The action of epsilon toxin from Clostridium perfringens on the nervous system.
• The significance of synaptic stability in information processing.
• Interactions among proteins involved in neurotransmitter release.
• Synaptic dysfunction in experimental models, particularly using Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles.14
