About

I am a biologist with almost 7 years of research experience in neuroscience and over 11 years of experience in molecular biology. I have in-depth knowledge and experience of working with rodent animal models. My aim is to understand the molecular and cellular pathways involved in the detrimental phenotype and cognitive deficits associated with aging and neurodegenerative disorders. My long-term goal is to eventually translate my research into therapeutic strategies.
