Bio
Hello everyone! I'm Ana and I'm a neuroscientist from Lisbon, Portugal. I got my bachelor in Neuroscience with Honors from the University of Glasgow and I did my research training at the Amsterdam Institute of Neuroscience where I studied the anatomical circuitry controlling drug addiction. I’m also very interested in neuropsychiatric disorders because they challenge my idea of what human beings are supposed to be like. More than this, the techniques used to study these disorders, such as opto and chemogenetics or CRISPR are truly bewitching. Currently I'm getting my MD at the University of Turin and I hope to become a pediatric surgeon one day. When time permits I’m also a lover of Joyce and Saramago.Project ideas
Student-Run Clinic
In this project I will help you organize a student-run clinic in your school or university. From a small diabetes screening service (as more and more young people are at risk) to a multidisciplinary group tackling the health issues that are most important in your school and community.
Alzheimer's Disease Group
In this project I'd help you set a group of students to work with individuals in initial stages of dementia. You'd coordinate socializing interventions in an attempt to delay the progressive cognitive deterioration brought by AD. I'd also encourage and help you publish your results.
Neuroscience - Student Journal
Would you like to set up a journal where students can publish original research papers and reviews in the field of Neuroscience? I'd love to help you set it up!
