Research Interests
Design and Construction of Low-Cost Scientific Instrumentation for Neurophysiology and Environmental Research
We design low-cost, open-source scientific instruments using Arduino and STM32 platforms. Our validated devices include a marine electrical stimulator and a versatile TEER measurement system for cell cultures and organ-on-chips, providing accessible alternatives to costly commercial tools.
Neuronal dysfunction in Non-Muscle Actinopathies
Electrophysiological and Morphological Characterization of human-derived neurons carrying ACTG1 actin mutation
Organs-on-a-Chip For Human Physiology
Developing microfluidic platforms, such as Organs-on-a-Chip, to better understand human physiology and drug development.
Nanomaterials for Brain Diseases
Developing and testing novel nanomaterials as a tool to repair neurovascular communication.
Brain neuroplasticity in physiological and pathological conditions
Investigating mechanisms underlying adaptive and maladaptive brain plasticity
