With a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and an MSc in Neurobiology, I am interested in the mechanisms of synapse regulation by astrocytes.

Currently a PhD student supervised by Thomas Oertner at the Institute of Synaptic Neuroscience, investigating the effect of cAMP on astrocyte-neuronal communication.

IL‐10 and Cdc42 modulate astrocyte‐mediated microglia activation in methamphetamine‐induced neuroinflammation IL-10 acts on astrocytes, reducing glutamate release, preventing microglial activation under Meth. IL-10 reduces Meth-induced astrocytic Ca2+ dynamics and Cdc42 activation. In vivo IL-10 prevents Me...
