The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

I joined ALBA because :
I am interested in joining a network where diversity and inclusion are central pillars. My work in both Neuroscience and Machine learning make a strong emphasis on diversity and equity: studying perception and neural dynamics beyond that of neurotypical subjects, and addressing and mitigating biases in terms of sensitive attributes in ML systems in the medical imaging and biomedical domain (algorithmic fairness).

I joined ALBA because :
Born and grow in Latin America, the most unequal continent in the world, but with 10 (great) years of academic experience in Germany, I fell I know what inequity means, at least in Latin America.
From there and as a scientific man of a patriarchal scientific system, I wish and rather I feel the duty to contribute.

Fields of research :
Cellular and molecular neuroscience
Computational neuroscience and modeling
History, teaching, public awareness, and societal
Neural/synaptic structure and function
I joined ALBA because :
I see science as a tool for increasing objectivity, as the quality of the experiment should be the only thing that decides one's success. However, this is often not the case. Therefore, anything bringing us closer to a more just system is worth investing time in.
