I joined ALBA because :
I am very interested in contributing to increasing awareness to neurodegenerative disorders in my country (Egypt) and my continent (Africa). Neurodegenerative disorders are hugely increasing in our continent, however, we still lack the proper facilities and mindset to tackle this issue. Joining ALBA network will provide me with the DEI skills and good training opportunities to increase my technical and advocacy skills to help transfer this gained knowledge to my local and regional partners &students. It will provide a solid chance for the much needed and more equalized collaborations in this field in our country and continent.

I joined ALBA because :
I am willing to serve ALBA mission in the region by helping in developing capacities of the growing neuroscientists. As I have witnessed the development of neuroscience i the African continent over the last decade during which I have been actively involved in such process through building our own lab and serving IBRO as ARC member for 7 years. Serving ALBA mission represents continuity and suitability activities to support equity, diversity and inclusion in the field.
