About

Neurosicentist, Team leader

I am a researcher with a longstanding background in neuroscience, sanning from mechanisms of neuropathic pain and sleep, to the molecular and functional alterations in the brain upon Alzheimer's and prion diseases. I have experience with basic research, as well as with handling big data on both human and animal samples.
