This PhD is part of a subproject inside a global project coordinated by Dr. Ruiz-Cabello in collaboration with a group of engineers led by Juan José Vaquero at University Carlos III Madrid, focuses on two main objectives. The first objective aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in pulmonary vascular diseases. Researchers will work to determine the optimal concentration of iNO for effective treatment and develop safe protocols for discontinuing iNO therapy. The second objective delves into the mechanistic aspects of pulmonary diseases. Investigators will explore the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying pulmonary vascular dysfunction, fibrosis, and inflammation. They will assess how iNO modulates these processes. Additionally, the research will examine sex-specific differences and environmental factors, such as ketogenic diet and microbiome composition, and their impact on disease progression and response to various drug-related therapies.
