Visiting Professor Floret Center for Advanced Genomics and Bioinformatics, Nigeria.
I am a Biochemist, PhD in Medical Sciences, working on gene regulation in neurodevelopmental and neurological disease.
My research interests focus on using genomic and molecular tools to understand mechanisms that control neurological and developmental disorders. I am currently investigating gene expression profiles in peripheral blood cells from patients with stroke, aiming to find genes markers that could allow early diagnosis.
I am passionate about global affairs, in connecting countries through science and increasing diversity in the scientific community. I work in different science diplomacy initiatives, and since 2021, I am the founder and leader of the Science Diplomacy in the Americas incubator, at the Global Young Academy. I additionally lead scientific advisory projects internationally, and policy brief preparations with diverse actors.
