SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am fascinated with research involving clinical neuroscience, cognition and psychology. I am interested in pain research in humans, especially fibromyalgia. I am also passionate by research in neonatal and perinatal brain conditions. My long-term goals is to help chronic pain patients to cope with their suffering as well as prolong life in young infants.
