Our team is excited to welcome Guille back from his doctoral stay in Copenhagen, where he spent over three months at the lab of Dr. Hajime Hirase, a leader in neuron-glia research. Dr. Hirase’s group explores how glial cells interact with neurons to influence brain functions like learning and memory — a perfect fit for the work we’re doing here.
In our lab, Guille has been at the forefront of researching glial roles in synaptic plasticity. While in Dr. Hirase’s lab, he gained hands-on experience with advanced techniques like two-photon microscopy, allowing him to observe glial and other cell behaviors under specific conditions. This new knowledge will be invaluable as we continue investigating how glia impact plasticity through transcranial electrical stimulation (tES).
The experience wasn’t all work, though; Guille enjoyed a warm, welcoming group at Hirase’s lab. Besides being top-notch researchers, they know how to unwind, often gathering for a beer to share ideas and relax after hours. Guille has returned with renewed energy and a wealth of ideas to drive our projects forward. Welcome back, Guille—let’s dive into this exciting next phase!
