About
I am a research assistant and soon-to-be PhD student at the SPI Lab. With a background in psychology and fundamental neuroscience, I have a strong interest in understanding the biological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders.
I arrived at the SPI Lab as a master’s student and conducted a thesis with the aim to understand how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids could be beneficial for brain cells in depression. My future work will be focused on the effects of early-life stress in cells of both the body and the brain.
As a scientist, I hope to show people how exciting and meaningful lab-focused research can be, especially when patients are taken into account!
