Membership

Joining the Alba Network will be a valuable experience as my role currently comprises neuroscience science communication. The membership would provide me with opportunities for support, resources to help me promote diversity and inclusion in neuroscience through my outreach initiatives where I work, advocacy, and personal and professional growth.

I feel as an early career research in the field of Cognitive Science, my work could have greater exposure along with massive learning opportunities that Alba Network could provide though its national-international conferences. Very few women from my country get such opportunities to represent their work at such prestigious forums.

Being a female researcher from a developing third-world country brings up new opportunities and challenges every day. ALBA would give me a platform to connect with more such people from different parts of the world where we could share our love and passion for brain sciences.

I am a postgraduate student, currently doing masters in AIIMS, New Delhi. I have always been a enthusiastic learner and have been wholely absorbed in the field of neuroscience, with all interest of acknowledging works in this area and contributing with more learning in the field of research on cognitive neuroscience. Hence, i would love to join Alba to share more knowledge and acquire more knowledge and experience for the betterment of society and the betterment of myself.

The main goal of joining AlBa is to be part of the diverse community of people working in brain research and to learn about how to engage with underrepresented people to contribute to brain research especially neurodegeneration disorders.

Alba would help to know about the recent progress and success stories of individuals and leading organizations in the field and foster networking opportunities.

I am a PHD Scholar studying neuropsychological correlates of monochromatic blue light, specifically theta activity generating sources and the pathway it follows which is influenced by various endogenous and exogenous factors. I want to join ALBA to connect to scientists and students working in the field of neurosciences worldwide and work along with the teams to broaden my horizon of understanding in the brain research areas and can work more efficiently. I want to keep myself actively involved in it and be updated of the groundbreaking researches which would, in turn, help me work better in this field.

I am a hign school graduate passionate about Neuroscience, and access to the field has been limited to me in more ways than one. Joining ALBA would help me find and make use of resources, an amazing professional network, amd mentorship, that would help me advance in my career and achieve my neuroscientific pursuits. Furthermore, as a Lived experience OCD researcher, ALBA's values of diversity and inclusion deeply resonate with me.

I had been fascinated by Neuroscience since my school days. One of the primary reasons was overhearing occasional talks in the family about nerves after a family member was diagnosed with a condition. I also am deeply fascinated by the functioning of the brain and the central nervous system (especially after watching the movie Lucy).

To be connected with the recent research

to know about the opportunities for doing post doctorate in this emerging field.

As I am nearing the completion of my thesis from NIMHANS and preparing to join Siddaganga Medical College as an Assistant Professor in Physiology, I am eager to establish my own neuroscience research lab. ALBA provides a valuable platform for fostering collaborations, accessing mentorship, and securing grants that will support my research goals. Through ALBA, I aim to connect with like-minded neuroscientists, contribute to diversity in brain research, and advance neuroscience in India.

My area of research is basically focusing on development of alternative models for neurodegenerative diseases. Joining ALBA gives me opportunities for professional development and to interact with neuroscientists.

My current research is based on Parkinson's disease. PD is a motor disorder associated with the dopaminergic neurodegeneration in substantia nigra pars compacta. The objective of my research is to formulate nanoparticles of the gold-containing compound to improve its bioavailability in rat brains. . Considering the motive of this program which is to inspire and educate early-career neuroscientists and emerging researchers entering the neuroscience community. I would gain knowledge and experience regarding various neuroscience workshops and conferences. Since I am a research scholar, I do not have funds to cover travel expenses of international conferences, joining ALBA will help me to apply for such conferences.
