SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My scientific interests revolve around clinical neurosciences, with a specific focus on understanding the diverse states and physiology of microglia and other crucial components of the immune system in the nervous system. Through my research, I aim to assist on deepening our knowledge of neuroscience, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases. One of my greatest goals is to make significant contributions to the field, ultimately leading to the development of more effective therapies and interventions for these challenging conditions.
