Dr. Juan Miguel Jimenez-Andrade received a PhD Degree in Pharmacology at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Mexico City. He performed postdoctoral studies with Dr. Patrick Mantyh at the Neurosystems Center, University of Minnesota. Posteriorly, he obtained a position as Research Assistant Professor at The Department of Pharmacology at The University of Arizona from 2007 until 2012. Since 2012 Dr. Jimenez-Andrade is a Professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Jimenez-Andrade’s lab investigates the neurobiological mechanisms that regulate bone pain and bone loss in different diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis so that therapies can be developed to reduce bone deterioration, bone pain and promote bone health. The experimental approach of the laboratory includes behavioral analysis of pain, densitometric analysis as well as techniques of immunohistochemistry and confocal laser microscopy.
