Dr. Jose Antonio Pariente graduated in Biological Sciences since 1985 by the University of
Extremadura. Four year later obtained his Ph.D. from the same university, where he carried
out studies on the involvement of histamine in the regulation of exocrine pancreatic secretion.
In 1990 he moved to the University of Central Lancashire in the UK to carry out studies of
stimulus response coupling in pancreatic tissue. Since 1992 is Senior Lecturer and 2008 is
Professor of Physiology at the University of Extremadura and is currently also Head of the
Department of Physiology at the same university.
His research line has focused mainly on calcium ion homeostasis and the effect of reactive
oxygen species both on the release and the entry of calcium from the extracellular environment.
Currently his main research is focused on the relationship between the calcium signal, reactive
oxygen species and apoptosis, as well as to analyze the dual effect that melatonin has on
apoptosis induced by intracellular calcium overload and reactive oxygen species in both tumor
and non tumor cells. These studies have allowed him to publish over 150 articles in scientific
journals and participate in numerous conferences. He has developed more than 20 research
projects and it has been cited in more than 4,500 citations and has an H factor of 40 and 5
years of research awarded (sexenios). He is a member of the Spanish Society of Physiology
Sciences, the European Pancreatic Club and The Physiological Society.
