The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

I joined ALBA because :
I am very interested in multiple of ALBA initiatives and want to support the network. Specific topics i am interested in are for example access points to science. In my lab we accept many interns especially from underrepresented groups and have noticed that such internships can be critical access points but that funding for such internships is difficult to find. I recently established the Radboud Gateway Fellowship that allows 3 students per year from underrepresented countries to come to our Uni for internships. Last years round has already led to success with 2 fellows getting into European graduate programs and 1 getting a paid internship in Europe (of 4 fellows)

I joined ALBA because :
As a passionate young neuroscientist, I have explored various areas of brain research in my career so far. I transitioned from neuronal cell biology in my PhD at IISER, Pune, India; to cortical developmental disorders research in my postdoc at IFM/INSERM at Paris, France.
During this journey I had several opportunities to mentor young students and it was one of the most rewarding aspect of my work. Being able to train and inspire young minds into pursuing not only basic brain research but also discussing their innovative approaches enriched me as a teacher and mentor. For me being an ALBA member would help sharpen this aspect and I would be privileged to be part of a dynamic community during my career.
