I am Christina Neofytou MSc, I am currently a PhD student in Molecular Neurodevelopment in the Ola Hermanson laboratory, at the department of Neuroscience in Karolinska Institutet. I have obtained a Bachelor's degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Biology, with a specialisation in Genetics, Developmental and Molecular Biology and a Master of Medical Science degree with a Major in Biomedicine from Karolinska Institutet. The aim of my research is to understand the key molecular mechanisms in play during normal brain development, with a focus on epigenetics, and to describe how these processes are dysregulated in tumor formation and in developmental disorders.
