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.

Anastasia
Tsingotjidou

Professor or equivalent position at School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece
Greece Website
Gender : Woman
Fields of research :
Disorders of the nervous system
Sensory systems neuroscience
Histochemistry and tracing
Imaging (microscopy)
I joined ALBA because :
Equity, inclusion and diversity are the pillars for progress and advancement. On the other hand, science and especially brain sciences dealing with the most complicated, elegant, demanding and intriguing organ of our body has only to gain through the involvement of diverse groups. It is only then, that science can be fruitful and effective. ALBA supports this idea, and this is the reason that I support ALBA. The commencement of this initiative gave wealth to the neuroscience community and thus personal experiences have their own space and way to be channeled in a common path.
