Profile Summary

I am a neuroscience researcher with over 10 years of academic experience, specializing in neuropharmacology and neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. My work has focused on both preclinical and clinical models to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms involved in these conditions, particularly related to dopaminergic and serotonergic systems. Throughout my career, I have participated in several research projects examining brain plasticity, neuroinflammation, and cortical spreading depression as a model of migraine. These projects have involved electrophysiological recordings, behavioral assays, histological analysis, and pharmacological interventions. I have experience writing, reviewing, and editing scientific manuscripts, and have supported peers in improving the quality and clarity of their publications prior to journal submission. My educational background includes a Master’s degree and PhD in Neuroscience, and I have taught pharmacology and neurobiology at the undergraduate level. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, which allows me to collaborate with international teams and review literature in multiple languages. I offer support in scientific writing, manuscript editing, peer-review-style critique, and consultation on experimental design for neuroscience-related research.
