Juan P. Bolaños received his B.Sc. in Pharmacy (1987; hon.) and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (1992; hon.) at the University of Salamanca (Spain). He was a Biochemical Society Unilever Short-term European Fellow in 1989 (supervised by Dereck Williamson at the Metabolic Research Laboratory, Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, UK), and then a post-doctoral Marie Curie Fellow (1993-1995) with John B. Clark at the Department of Molecular Neuroscience, Institute of Neurology-University College London, UK. In 1996, he became Lecturer and, in 2007, Professor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Salamanca. From 1997 to 2004, he was the Academic Secretary of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He joins the Editorial Boards of Biochemical Journal, Journal of Neurochemistry, Frontiers in Neuroenergetics, Neurochemical Research, Brain Metabolic Disease, and Synapse. He received the Marie Curie Excellence Award in 2005 from the European Union, and Editor of the Year Awards (2008, 2009 and 2010 editions) from the Biochemical Journal. He has chaired the organizing committees of four international conferences (2007-2011), and is currently the President of the European Society for Neurochemistry (ESN). His research interests are focused on understanding how energy metabolism is coupled with antioxidant protection of neurons, both under physiological and pathophysiological circumstances.
