Research group
The researcher Andrés Nascimiento has a degree in Medicine and Pediatrics from the Central University of Venezuela. In 2004, he obtained a master's degree in Neuropediatrics from the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu.
In 2012, he made a stay at the Great Ormmon Street Hospital in London and later at the University of New Castle.
He is currently the coordinator of the Neuromuscular Pathology Unit of the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu in Barcelona.
He is a clinical coordinator and collaborator in several translational research projects within the biomedical research network of rare diseases, with main interest in the group of congenital muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (CIBERER) focused on the study of natural history, functional assessment and biomarkers. He is a collaborator and scientific advisor in different associations of patients with neuromuscular diseases.

Mitochondria-lysosome contacts: a new cell phenotype in neurogenetic diseases
The Neurogenetics and Molecular Medicine research group of the Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu (IRSJD), in collaboration with the Neuromuscular Pathology Unit of the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital (HSJD), has studied the pathophysiology of mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial- lysosome contacts in cells from patients with neurogenetic diseases. The article has been published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
