I'm Building
Neuroscience research on manipulating microglia to get rid of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain cortex, getting rid of neuroinflammation and slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Bio
Elena is a neuroscientist based in Hungary, currently working on a grant-funded project to manipulate microglia, aiming to eliminate beta-amyloid plaques and reduce neuroinflammation in the brain cortex, which could slow Alzheimer's disease progression. Previously, she was involved in a research project at Sirius University, where she used eye-tracking technology to study the role of eye movements in stress levels, and later interned at BioViva, exploring gene therapy for neurodegenerative diseases. Elena's diverse background includes investigating neuronal function and genetic mutations at the University of Cambridge, showcasing her commitment to advancing neurobiological research.
