Our team investigates clinical and translational research on the functional and structural circuits of the normal and pathological brain, in developmental, neurological, and neurodegenerative disorders. Using advanced in vivo imaging techniques to map biomarkers of brain connectivity and plasticity and, counting on a multidisciplinary team, we aim to establish the relationship among these biomarkers and clinical, biochemical, and microstructural factors. Currently, I serve as the CEO of IDOR, the institute responsible for research, education, and innovation activities at Rede D’Or Hospitals Network.
