SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am really interested in the modelling of human neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders using brain organoids. I am also interested in the various novel and innovative techniques which focus on bridging clinical and translational neuroscience with the cognitive and computational aspects.
