Membership

ALBA Network shows intense effort to increase knowledge of gender biases and promote best practices to counteract it. This spirit inspired me and I hope to be part of this effort!

I intend to join Alba Network for career and professional development as well as to build a link with professionals in the field of neuroscience. To let me know what’s going on in this field and help me keep up with current scientific and professional issues. By being a part of a scientific society, you already have built a link, but you also have opportunities to meet people face-to-face at the annual meeting and smaller conferences held throughout the year. Develop professionally. Resources for career and professional development are priceless for graduate students.

To support members in underrepresented groups, raise awareness as well as make solutions to improve.

To learn about and contribute to creative ways to enhance diversity in neuroscience

I am seeking to build my network in Neuroscience and searching for postdoctoral positions.

Working towards a more equitable academic environment to nurture diversity, and to promote creativity has become an important personal goal as an active professional member within our scientific community. This goal requires actions at many different levels, from the lab to scientific organizations to entities developing policies. Thus, it is important to connect with colleagues who are working towards similar goals to assist and contribute to an important transformation that must take place to make science and scientific careers possible regardless of gender identity, race, ethnicity, disability, culture or socioeconomic status.

I am interested in joining ALBA because I am passionate about advancing equity and diversity in the field of brain sciences. ALBA mission resonates with my values, and I I am attracted to their objectives of promoting best practices, acknowledging outstanding contributions, and offering networking and mentoring opportunities. I am excited about the prospect of contributing to ALBA initiatives and working collaboratively towards fostering a more inclusive and diverse environment within the realm of brain sciences.

To expand my network that helps for collaborative research and jobs

Our group is interested to understand the extracellular role of Tau in microglia. Further we are interested in the development of therapeutic approaches targeting amyloid and tau oligomers, diagnostics and biomarkers for neurodegeneration. Our lab majorly cell culture, animal models and human tissue to investigate mechanisms of pathogenesis in Tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders.

As being young investigator, it’s important to participate and connect with ALBA network to understand the cutting-edge science around the globe.
