Research interests

Developing  neurodegenerative disease models in microphysiological systems. Leading Parkinson’s-on-chip (PoCM) project.

I have a broad interest in neuronal communication and the mechanisms underlying neural network dynamics. My research focuses on developing experimental models to understand neurodegenerative processes through biochemical, electrophysiological, and computational approaches.

Technical Skills

Analytical Skills: Experienced in processing and analyzing electrophysiological and imaging data, with a strong focus on extracting and interpreting neuronal activity patterns. Skilled in signal and image processing, quantitative analysis of neural network dynamics, and biomedical signal analysis. Proficient in integrating computational and statistical approaches to model and interpret neuronal function and behavior.

Experimental Skills: Extensive experience with in vitro electrophysiological measurements, including electrical stimulation, Ca²⁺ imaging, and extracellular recordings using MEAs. Proficient in fluorescent microscopy, immunostaining, and protein immunoblotting. Skilled in chemical and viral transfection techniques, as well as embryonic mouse cortical and Drosophila melanogaster brain dissection. Certified in Laboratory Animal Science (EU Category D).

Other me…

Like playing football (when my ankles are in shape), training martial arts (Aikido and  Goju-ryu Karate) and camping (in the wilderness).
