I joined ALBA because :
Since my first year of medical school, I have been always interested in neurology, especially neuro-oncology and the underlying molecular biology of developing brain tumors. I enjoy navigating and conducting research in the field of neuroscience. I recently published a review article on a novel oncogene that enhances malignant glioma progression: Astrocyte elevated gene-1. I am eager to maintain my interest in neurology and look forward to enhancing my knowledge and enthusiasm by being a member of ALBA Network. This membership may allow me to communicate with neurologists from all over the world and share our ideas and thoughts.
