Out of a passion to improve the well-being of society through biomedical research, I specialized in molecular and cellular neurobiology and applied this to the study of neurodegeneration. My objective is to expand our understanding of disease and advance diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. I am a highly self-motivated individual with over 7 yrs experience currently seeking to apply my extensive scientific training to new opportunities in biomedical research.
