Brief Statement of Research Interest

My research interests primarily focus on disease biology, encompassing epidemiology, genetics, and animal modeling. Recently, I have developed a strong interest in the field of neuroscience, which led me to join Prof. Dr. Valery Grinevich's lab at Heidelberg University, Germany, for my doctoral studies.

Currently, I am on study leave to pursue my Ph.D. My project aims to understand the role of oxytocin in modulating social behavior. By employing advanced techniques such as optogenetics and fiber photometry, I investigate the neural circuits underlying social interactions.
