I received my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Nagoya University in Japan. As a postdoc, I worked in the field of proteomics and signalling cascades in striatal neurons. Also, I obtained my B.Sc. in Genetics and Biotechnology from the National University of San Marcos in Peru. My main research focus was on how transcription factors regulate reward-related behaviour in GABAergic neurons.
In 2021, I moved to Toronto and joined the Orser Lab. My goal is to gain a better understanding of how to translate highly promising basic science research into clinical experimentation. My current research interest is understanding the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the decline of learning and memory after anesthesia and surgery.
In my free time, you can find me spending time in the lab, cycling, watching movies, or at a coffee shop.
