About
Summary
I've been interested in stem cells since my bachelors. Recently, using these cells in neurosciences has been incredible since it may be quite complicated to acces the human neural system. I would like to be able to keep investigating neural disorders with stem cells as I think these are a great tool to get closer to understand and model complex phenomena of the human brain.
