Principal Investigator
Teresa attended Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where she earned her Pharm.D. She then moved to the US to complete a PhD in Anatomy and Neurobiology at Boston University. Following her dissertation on cortical development, she joined the Lopez-Bendito lab to explore the role of spontaneous activity in the emergence of cortical sensory modalities. Passionate about circuits, she is seeking to understand how neuronal networks integrate with glia during normal development and in brain cancer.
