About

I am a self-motivated neuroscientist with 5+ years' experience in neurodegenerative disease research, 5+ years' experience in haemochromatosis research and 2+ years' experience in Chemoreception Sciences. My PhD sought to investigate the effects of brain Iron accumulation on neurodegenerative sequelae relevant to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The Parkinson's arm of my PhD research led to an interest in sensory systems, which I am focusing on now for my postdoc research, which ultimately seeks to understand how neural representation of olfactory information is transformed as it gets processed by distinct populations of neurons in the olfactory bulb. I am still into neurodegeneration (Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases) and haemochromatosis research, with a role as a PhD associate supervisor. I am open to collaborating with folks who are specializing in areas related to my line of expertise.
