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 :
Discrimination and bias in the brain science field may be rooted in issues of gender, race, social class, language etc. I have experienced some of these bias, firsthand, in my academic and research career. Those experience affected my thinking and personality in a huge way. Through ALBA network, I hope to contribute as a counteracting force to promote equity and diversity.

Postdoctoral fellow at University of Zagreb, School of Medicine
Croatia
Gender : Man
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.
