Postdoctoral Fellow Profile

Postdoctoral Fellow

Discovering the neurobiology of disease

I am a Medical Doctor with a masters in Medical and Pharmaceutical Drug Innovation with specialization in metabolism. My PhD research focused on investigating mitochondrial involvement in Alzheimer's Disease by employing in vitro models such as iPSC-derived brain organoids and microglia-like cells as well as patient- and mouse model-derived tissue. As a postdoctoral fellow, I am focusing on developing brain organoid models that recapitulate psychiatric disease to continue learning about the neurobiology of disease.
