About me

I am the principal investigator of the Neuron-Glial Interactions Lab (NGILab) at the Krembil Research Institute (Toronto, Canada), and an external scientific member at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) in Bilbao (Spain). My expertise is in neuron-glial interactions in the healthy and diseased brain. I employ multidisciplinary approaches at the intersection of Physics and Computer Science, collaborating with biologists, engineers, and medical doctors to harness the complexity of neuron-glial signaling, from the subcellular realm to Systems levels. I am currently serving as the Sponsorship Chair for the Organization of Computational Neurosciences.
