Stem Cells & Neuroscience

Profile Summary

I have 5+ years of experience in conducting research projects related to Neuroscience at top academic institutes. As a PhD student at the Montreal Neurological Institute, I am responsible for designing innovative and methodological experiments, and analyzing and communicating scientific data. When I am not doing wet lab work, I enjoy developing quantitative analysis tools using programs written in Python.

My current expertise is in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) culture:
- Scalable differentiation of hiPSCs toward neural progenitor cell (NPC) lineages.
- Scalable differentiation of NPCs toward 2D neuronal cultures and 3D brain organoids.
- Neurodegenerative disease modelling using patient-derived dopamine neurons.

I also have expertise in:

Neurodegenerative Disease-Related Sleep Disturbances
- In vivo EEG measurement of sleep in genetic mouse models of Parkinson's disease 
- Quantitative analysis of sleep oscillations with respect to sleep spindles
- Quantitative analysis of sleep architecture abnormalities in wake, NREM, REM

Neuropharmacology & Behavior
- Neuropharmacological manipulation of dopamine pathways
- Probabilistic learning paradigms
