Research Interests:
I am interested in investigating the neuroanatomy of the brain at nanoscopic level, using 3DEM and 3D reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on astrocytes and their morphological coupling with neurons and vasculature. In my former team we pioneered the use Virtual Reality in neuroscience, and developed tools to explore the intimate relationships between these types of cells.
