Neuroscientist 🧠🔬 Passionate about astrocytes, EVs and local translation👩🏻🔬 PhD in Neuroscience at Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience
Joined May 2021
Last Friday I defended my PhD thesis! I’m officially a doctor! 🥳 I couldn’t have done it without my amazing mentor @BaleriolaLab! Huge thanks to the thesis committee @BoulayAC @maitesolaszu @soria_edgar and to my labmates, family & friends! It’s one of the best days of my life🎉

📢📢📢SAVE THE DATE!!!!! Let's have fun and enjoy discussing astro-science in person! Don't miss the opportunity!
Save the date for the next in-person #AstrocyteCafe next June 3-5 (2026) in Pamplona (Spain)! We can’t wait to see many of you in person again, thanks so much to the main local organizer @maitesolaszu ♥️

Just out! “The astrocytic ensemble acts as a multiday trace to stabilize memory.” We identified astrocytic ensembles that link experiences across days to stabilize memory https://t.co/po9zIlZvPb. New astrocyte tools are openly available at Addgene: https://t.co/OXCmcYSleI. 1/8

Delighted to share that I'm awarded the @IBROorg Rising Stars Award 2025! Look forward to bridging Asia-Pacific and international neuroscience, with the common goals of demysterfying the brain and targeting brain disorders! 🧠 Thank you IBRO and all my supportive colleagues!
🎉 CUHK Neuroscientist Wins IBRO Rising Stars Award Prof. Hovy Wong received the Rising Stars Award 2025 from the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO)-making history as the first recipient in the Greater China Area!👏 https://t.co/x8Q1fqxD0z

PAPER ALERT!📢 🧠What happens to the brain when glucose runs low? Does synaptic transmission collapse because neurons are starving? Or is there another, often-overlooked cell that senses the metabolic crisis and pulls the emergency brake? Let’s talk about astrocytes! 🤩🧵👇

Tenemos que bajar la valoración de la media de las notas al evaluar candidatos predoctorales. Estamos perdiendo talento. Las notas no lo son todo.
¿Testimonios no excelentes? “Tuve una media de 6,5…” “La tesis me la hice trabajando en una academia” “Nos estamos quedando sin clase media científica” Interesantes reflexiones gracias a @MarcosDoGo

The @GEIVEX Educational day has been inspiring for me! Thank you for selecting my work as part of the workshops on EV-based techniques! I had great discussions during it! We’ll continue enjoying #7thGEIVEXSymposium at Palma!
This year we included in the Educational day Worshops on EV-based techniques: SP-IRIS, TEM, EV-Uptake, Isolation from tissue, Immunocapture for flow cytometry or intra-brain injection. Discussions were lively! Hope this event will improve your future research

Two years to get the mice, one month to do the first pilot experiment and here are the first chimeric mice of the lab: human interlaminar astrocytes in the mouse!! Patience paid off 🤯 Thanks to our amazing students and lab members of #FalconeLab !💪💪💪🤩
