Luis Ángel Trujillo

Dr. Luis Ángel Trujillo Villarreal is a neuroscientist with a background in clinical chemistry, molecular biology, and genetic engineering. He completed his Master’s and Ph.D. at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, where he studied the transgenerational inheritance of psychiatric vulnerability induced by prenatal environmental factors. During his postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Neurobiology (UNAM), he investigated how prenatal stress programs addiction-related and emotional behaviors.
