Summary
- I am an Associate Professor in Neurology and Pediatrics at The University of Iowa. As a physician-scientist, I study the fundamental mechanisms of inhibition and neuronal swelling in the brain. My main focus area is exploring the cellular functioning of the inhibitory system and examining the correlation between neuronal edema, seizures, and abnormal chloride homeostasis during pathological states. I also practice Child Neurology and teach residents and graduate students.
My research focuses on studying the cellular processes of the inhibitory system and the connection between neuronal swelling and the changes in chloride and calcium ion concentration during different pathological conditions, especially in the neonatal brain. I obtained my Medical Degree from Universidad de Carabobo in Valencia, Venezuela, pursued a Neuroscience Ph.D. at UCLA, and completed post-doctoral studies and a residency in Child Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School.
