Carlos Belmonte Martínez (born October 24, 1943, in Albacete, Spain) is a neuroscientist recognized for his contributions to sensory physiology, particularly in ocular neuroscience. His research relates to understanding of corneal sensation, including the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it.[1] He holds multiple patents related to the diagnosis and treatment of ocular pain, dry eye, and neurological conditions. His awards include the National Research Prize Rey Jaime I, the National Prize Severo Ochoa, the National Prize Gregorio Marañón[2][3][4] and the Nature Award for Mentoring in Science.[5][4] Additionally, he has also played a role in the development of several biomedical spin-offs[6] including Newmanbrain,[7][8] and i-Onion.[9]

Education

edit

Belmonte earned his MD with honors from the University of Madrid Medical School in 1966, followed by a PhD in Physiology, also with honors, in 1969. From 1971 to 1973, he continued his research training as an NIH International Fellow at the University of Utah,[10][11][12] working alongside C. Eyzaguirre[13] and Nobel Laureate H.K. Hartline.[14]

In 1973, he became the youngest Full Professor and Chairman at a Spanish medical school upon his return to Valladolid.[15] Although he spent sabbatical periods as a Visiting Professor at Harvard, Utah, the Max Planck Institute in Florida, and New South Wales University in Australia, his academic and research career has been primarily based in Spain.[16]

Career

edit

Belmonte is recognized for his significant contributions to research, having published over 170 scientific papers in national and international journals.[12][17] His research has primarily focused on neuroscience, particularly the mechanisms of sensory transduction and pain, contributing to much of the current knowledge in these areas through his publications. His contributions include the study of electrical properties of sensory neurons and their roles in transduction of mechanical and chemical stimuli. He has made significant discoveries related to the physiology of the eye and its sensory pathways.[12]

Scientific contributions

edit

Belmonte is a leading scientist in the field of neuroscience, which is the study of the brain and nervous system. His research focuses on how our bodies sense things like touch, pain, and temperature, particularly in areas outside the brain, like the skin and eyes. He is a prolific researchers with over 170 papers published in national and international journals.[17][12]

One of his discoveries was that the way nerve cells work can change depending on the type of tissue they are connected to. For example, he found that the nerve endings in the cornea have unique ways of detecting different types of harmful stimuli, such as pressure or chemicals that might cause pain, as well as helping the eye heal and respond to inflammation. His research included developing a special tool called an gas esthesiometer that measures sensitivity on the eye's surface, confirming that there are different types of sensory functions at play and clarifying how specific nerve fibers contribute to our experience of sensations in the eye.[18][19]

He managed to record the electrical signals from a single nerve ending, which helps scientists understand how pain works at a very detailed level.[20] Overall, his work helps us understand how our bodies feel and respond to pain, which is important for developing better treatments for pain-related conditions, for which he has developed several patents (See patent section).

His research spans a broad spectrum—from recombinant receptor channels and gene knockouts[21] to in vivo electrophysiological studies[22]—and has made significant clinical impacts. For example, he discovered that a specific channel in nerve cells of the trigeminal ganglion, called TRPM8 helps us sense cold temperatures and how concentrated certain substances are and they can be affected by inflammation.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] He found that when these cold-sensing nerve fibers are activated, they play a role in producing tears, blinking, and the symptoms associated with Dry Eye Disease (DED),[34][35] while others, known as TRPA1, can be triggered by substances produced by bacteria.[36][37] He also looked into other channels, such as TRPV1 and Piezo2, which are involved in pain sensation in the eye.[38][39][40][41][42] This research has led to the creation of new compounds that could help regulate these channels, potentially providing new treatments for eye pain.[43][44][45]

One area of his research focuses on the dry eye symptoms that can occur after LASIK eye surgery. He suggested that these symptoms may mainly be due to damaged cold-sensing fibers firing abnormally, rather than problems with all types of sensory fibers. This helps explain why some patients experience pain and reduced tear production even when they blink less after surgery. His insights have enhanced our understanding of the sensory neurophysiology of the eyes and how they perceive different stimuli, as well as led to multiple patented inventions designed for diagnosing and treating eye pain.[46][47]

Additionally, he showed that injecting a substance called sodium hyaluronan into the knee can help reduce pain. This injection not only provides cushioning to the joint but also interacts with pain-sensing channels in the body, which helps lower inflammation.[48][49][50]

As Secretary-General and later President of the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), Belmonte helped IBRO become the world's largest and most influential neuroscience federation.[51] In 1987, he founded the Institute of Neurosciences in Alicante, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University Miguel Hernández (UMH).[52][53] Under his leadership, the Institute became Spain's largest neuroscience research center and a nationally recognized center of excellence.[54]

Belmonte has also served on the boards of numerous international research organizations, including Human Frontiers, the European Research Council, and ERA-NET Neuron, and has contributed to key journals like Experimental Eye Research, Pain, Molecular Pain, and European Journal of Neuroscience. He is a member of the scientific boards of several research institutes and foundations across Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, the UK, Mexico, Japan, and the USA.[55]

Contributions to the field of education

edit

Belmonte has been appointed to several academic and administrative positions in educational institutions.

Business career

edit

Belmonte has been instrumental in founding several innovative biomedical spin-offs[67]

One of his early ventures was Avizorex Pharma, founded in 2013[68] [69], which stemmed from his research on the role of temperature-sensitive neurons in tear production[70]. The company developed AVX-012, an agonist of the TRPM8 ion channel, a receptor for cold temperatures in the eye that increases blinking and tear production to treat dry eye. This treatment successfully completed a Phase 2a clinical trial[71] [72]. In 2019, the company was acquired by Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc [73], which was acquired in 2022 by Alcon for $770 million[74].

In 2017, he co-founded Newmanbrain, for which he also acts as scientific advisor. The company's objective is to make cognitive assessments for various brain conditions like mild cognitive impairment and ADHD cost-effective and accesible for mass-screening with the aim to to accelerate the development of brain treatments.[75][76] Through fNIRs and AI-powered neuroimaging technology, the company provides fast an unbiased assessments of brain activity in the pre-frontal cortex.[75][76]

Carlos is the inventor, co-founder, and scientific advisor of i-Onion (formerly Tearful), a company established in 2019 [77] that develops medical devices for measuring tear flow. The device enables a quantitative assessment of the lacrimal glands’ maximum tear secretion capacity in humans and other mammals, offering an alternative to the Schirmer test, which measures only basal tear secretion. The purpose of this device is to support clinicians in identifying appropriate secretagogues to activate lacrimal gland secretion when indicated.[78]

Patents

edit

Carlos Belmonte is a co-inventor or principal inventor on 25 patents focused on diagnosing and treating ocular pain, dry eyes, and detecting neuronal conditions, among others[79][60].

Publications

edit

Belmonte has authored and co-authored over 170 scientific papers and over 20 books. His research primarily focuses on the sensory mechanisms involved in pain and temperature sensation, particularly in relation to the ocular surface. He extensively explores the functionality of various ion channels, such as TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) channels, and their role in nociceptive pathways (for the perception of pain), especially in the cornea. His studies elucidate the physiological responses of cold-sensitive neurons and the impact of sensory nerve activity on tear production. Notably, he investigates how conditions like dry eye and ocular surface disorders influence sensory nerve function and the experience of pain. His work also contributes to our understanding of neuroimmune interactions and the physiological mechanisms underlying sensory disorders, employing a combination of experimental models and clinical insights to advance knowledge in sensory neuroscience and ophthalmology. His publications cover the effects of different treatments on ocular discomfort, including the analgesic effects of novel compounds such as arginine-rich peptides on TRPV1 channels. This body of work not only enhances our understanding of corneal sensitivity and nociception but also highlights potential therapeutic targets for managing ocular pain, providing a foundation for future investigations into the neurobiology of ocular discomfort.[17]

Personal life

edit

Belmonte comes from a distinguished family of Spanish ophthalmologists spanning four generations. His grandfather, Nicolás Belmonte Dumont, was a pioneering ophthalmologist who founded the Belmonte Eye Clinic in Albacete and held prominent roles, including president of the local medical college and a notable political figure during Spain's Second Republic. Nicolás had three sons, Nicolás, Manuel, and José who each pursued significant careers in ophthalmology. Of José's five children, Carlos and his brother José continued the family legacy in medicine. [107]

Belmonte resides in Alicante, where he continues to work in the medical field.[107]

His son, Pablo Belmonte, is also involved in the medical field through the company Newmanbrain[108], while his other son, Diego Belmonte, works in the same sector with the company i-Onion[9].
