Luna Zea-Redondo

I am a final-year graduate student at Humboldt University. Throughout my PhD, I have integrated single-cell experimental and computational methods to investigate the mechanisms of memory and their relevance to the initiation of drug addiction. As I transition to the next phase of my career, I am enthusiastic about disseminating my research and engaging with fellow experts in the field of Neuroscience. My goal is to foster collaboration and build a network of connections within the scientific community.
