I am a neuroscience researcher expertized in pharmacological characterization of G-protein coupled receptors as potential therapeutic targets for Parkinson's disease and drug abuse. I have expert hand on experience in mammalian cell culture and transgenic mouse model of neuropsychiatric disorders. By applying molecular and cell biology tools, I have been leading challenging preclinical research projects since my postdoctoral training, to understand possible pathophysiology and neuro-circuit dysfunctions.
