  Research Assistant

  Study of the neurobiology underlying social dysfunction, combining molecular approaches with in-vitro electrophysiology, optogenetic, pharmacogenetic methods and behavioral paradigms.In my previous roles, I designed experiments, analysed data, and interpreted results independently and as part of collaborative research teams. Throughout these experiences, I demonstrated strong project management and organisational skills. My communication abilities; written and verbal, have been praised by colleagues and supervisors alike. I used statistical and computational analysis tools to effectively handle data.Noteworthy Contributions:• Pioneered the adoption of an innovative technique for acquiring behavioural data.• Maintained a noteworthy publication history in peer-reviewed journals.• Engaged in workshops, seminars, and training programmes to bolster research competencies and networking.• Spearheaded and contributed to neuroscience research initiatives targeting fundamental principles.• Mentored PhD, graduate and undergraduate students.• Reviewed grants and manuscripts to develop potential publications Show less
