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 :
As a president of the IBRO-MENA, we plan to have the neuroscience more promoted in the Middle east and the Arab countries where we plan several activities and conferences. Teaming with ALBA will offer better scientific connection in the area of neuroscience which is an area that is undeserved in our region.
This kind of collaboration among neuroscientists will promote expertise exchange and will help students achieve better training in the area of neuro-related projects.

I grew up in a cosmopolitan environment. I have been in three different cities for my education in India. After completing my PhD in India, I moved to Dallas for postdoctoral research. I always believed that inclusion and diversity is essential; it helps us gather diverse idea, gives varied point of view and makes us more accommodative to others. I support the mission of ALBA in creating equality and diversity and would be happy to support and network with the fellow members.
