Methodological Approaches for Sleep and Vigilance Research

Dr. Murillo-Rodríguez is a Psychologist and PhD in Biomedical Sciences, having completed his post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School. He has served as editor of multiple journals such as The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology and PLoS ONE, among many others. He is a member of several scientific societies, including the Society for Neuroscience. He has received academic awards such as the Young Investigator Award from the World Federation of Sleep Research and Sleep Research Societies Society, and is a member of the National System of Researchers (Level 2) of the National Council of Science and Technology (México). He is also the author of The Endocannabinoid System: Genetics, Biochemistry, Brain Disorders, and Therapy (Elsevier, May 2017).
