• PhD in Biomedicine, Cell Biology, Universitat de Barcelona
• Research Fellow, Queensland Brain Institute

His research focuses on synaptic vesicle dynamics, Tau protein pathology in neurodegenerative diseases, and lipid raft-mediated neuronal signaling. He utilizes super-resolution imaging to study presynaptic nanoscale organization and has contributed to understanding:

• Tau-mediated synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease
• SV2A mutation effects in epilepsy
• Lipid raft roles in axon guidance
• Viral-induced neuronal fusion mechanisms

Current funded projects include:

• Fusion of Axons Innovative Therapy (FAITH): 2025-2030 (Spinal Cure Australia)
• Viral-induced neuronal fusion: 2025-2027 (NHMRC IDEAS Grants)
