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 :
Science progresses when questions are answered. Questions are made when one tries to understand something. To fully understand a topic, one must see the bigger picture or look at it from different angles. Here is where diversity is key! Bringing people from different backgrounds together enables science to move forward.

I joined ALBA because :
Over the past decade, I dedicated my professional career to developing tools that could demolish barriers between psychiatry, cognitive science, computer science, mathematics, and neuroscience, between the U.S.A. and Palestine, while integrating my scientific and medical training. My research spans treatment, symptoms, cognition, and neural layers to reimagine psychiatry and neurology while accounting for the variability across the different components, with no individual left behind. Taken from a community perspective, this research philosophy is the technical definition of diversity, equity, and inclusion, i.e., the core mission of ALBA. I avidly look forward to contributing to the ALBA mission and network.
