Who am I?

I am an ambitious and hardworking neuroscientist with broad technical skills, who seek to develop a research career studying the role of neuroglia, extracellular matrix and pericytes in neurological diseases. As a supporter of open science, I deliver transparent and high-quality research protocols and results. I am committed to learning and self-development and enthused about new challenges and research paths.
