Opis

I obtained my master degree of Science in Zoology with general specialisation in Cell Biology and Histology and particularly in developmental-biology and -physiology field in 2005. I mainly worked on developing rat brain and spinal cord during pre- and post-natal periods. I subsequently obtained my PhD degree in zoology with general specialisation in Embryology and Comparative Anatomy and particularly in developmental-neuroendocrinology and -physiology field in 2009. I studied the interactions between the different states of thyroid hormones and rat brain development during the perinatal period. I gained a remarkable experience in different biochemical and histological techniques and especially in the analysis of vertebrate brain morphology. During both degrees and a short postdoctoral period, I published generally seventeen papers in different international journals and chapters. Therefore now I also have a strong background in endocrinology. However, my experimental work will not improve accordingly due to the lack of grants to reach the highest objectives. Thus, I am searching for a postdoctoral place to develop my individual skills and enhance my career prospects.
