I research stem cells (derived into neurons, astrocytes, and microglia) and 3D tissue models to study neurodegenerative diseases. With over 18 years of experience in stem cell biology, biomaterials science, and techniques like cell culture, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and PCR, I focus on optimizing 3D culture technologies and cell models for HSV-1 infection. I am passionate about advancing research, collaborating across fields, and uncovering new insights into brain diseases.
