Biography

Defended her thesis in July 2025!

My research focuses on investigating lipid population changes and lipid regulatory mechanisms related to demyelination and remyelination. This understanding helps modulate lipid metabolism in the central nervous system, which has the potential to treat demyelinating diseases.
