My name is Marta and I am an enthusiastic researcher with specific interest in the human brain. I did my PhD at the University of Castellon (UJI). After obtaining my PhD in Psychobiology (2012), I joined the University of Miami (USA) as a Postdoc.

I am eager to continue fighting for the development of new therapeutical approaches that could help treat better current psychiatric and neurodegenerative alterations
