Profile Summary

8 years of experience as a bio-imaging specialist in academia and industry, especially in the field of neuroscience. Previous PhD research included investigations on physiological function of GABA(A) receptors related to action potentials on rat brain slices, and calcium signaling in astrocytes and astrocyte-neuron communication. After that, I worked as an Application Specialist, covering customer services on all microscope products, and particularly in charge of services on super-resolution techniques.
