Biography

Neuroscientist with a PhD in Health Sciences - Biomedicine. My journey in science has been guided by uderstanding the complexities of the brain and the commitment to improving healthcare. My expertise encompasses mental health research, epilepsy, and vascular neurology, with a profound understanding of the implications of the blood-brain barrier on brain health and disease. My experience goes from bench to bedside as I have worked with cell cultures, animal models, and engaged in clinical research with deep understunding in neuroimaging. Currently, I've immersed myself in the world of e-Health harnessing its potential for epidemiological research, and improving the well-being and follow-up of patients. As a neuroscientist with a background in health sciences and biomedicine, I am driven by the profound potential of bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and tangible real-world applications in patient care, ultimatly improving people's lives.
