Mario Pérez Diego was born in Zamora, Spain, in 1995. He obtained his degree in Health Biology in 2017 from the University of Alcalá. That same year, he pursued his master’s studies in Investigation in Immunology at Complutense University of Madrid, where he joined the group of Dr. Oscar Palomares to carry out his final master’s project. His work focused on studying the effect of novel allergoid-mannan conjugates in the differentiation of monocytes into dendritic cells and macrophages. In 2019, he continued his research in the group, beginning his PhD studies under an FPI fellowship. In April 2025, Mario defended his PhD Thesis, titled: “Molecular mechanisms underlying the capacity of the synthetic cannabinoid WIN55,212-2 to immunomodulate myeloid and bronchial epithelial cells in asthma and other inflammatory diseases”. During his PhD, Mario was awarded an EAACI Research Fellowship, allowing him to complete a six-month research stay at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF) in Davos, Switzerland, under the supervision of Professor Cezmi A. Akdis. Currently, he continues his work in the group as a Postdoctoral Researcher and is involved in several projects related to the investigation of the mode of action of new potential therapeutic strategies for asthma treatment.
