Research interests
- My Current Research Focuses On The Physiological
- Cellular Mechanisms Of Vagal Modulation Of The Immune System In Experimental Sepsis. From A Cellular Standpoint
- We Were Pioneers Reporting That The Vagus Nerve Controls Inflammation Via Inducible T Regulatory Lymphocytes. Our Studies Were Recently Confirmed By Other Investigators. During The Last Years
- We Have Studied The Regulation Of Immune Cells By Typical Neurotransmitters Such As Acetylcholine
- Dopamine
- And Norepinephrine. One Critical Consideration In Our Studies Is The Translation These Mechanisms Into Novel Therapeutic
- Pharmacologic Strategies For Infectious
- Inflammatory Disorders
Biography
- Dr. Ulloa studies the physiological mechanisms controlling the immune system and their pharmacological translation for the treatment of infectious and inflammatory disorders.
- In special, Dr Ulloa is interested on the physiological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of Neuromodulation of the immune system and their clinical implications in sepsis.
- Dr Ulloa has served and chaired numerous international conferences, Editorial Boards and grant review committees.
- Dr Ulloa has received prestigious awards and funding from the Human Frontiers Organization, NATO, the National AHA, DOD, and NIH.
