Lauriane Nallet Khosrofian, PhD

I have been a Science enthusiast all my life, but understanding the human mind's mechanism was my real passion. How does the brain interpret the information from the body into a specific response? Which mechanism the brain submitted to a disease or an injury use to repair itself?
 

My different academic research experiences taught me how to answer a scientific question, decipher what tool and which experiment to use. It taught me to work in a team and discuss both problems and ideas. It taught me to work alone and to be independent in my work.
 

My love for science did not bound me to Academic research. During my PhD (2015-2019), I started to look outside the academic box for opportunities to grow personally. I joined the VAUZ association for PhDs, Postdocs and Research assistants to develop my management skills and be part of the decision regarding the community (Decision for Grant distribution and organisation of specific events). I brought the international scientific festival Pint of Science to Zurich and became the City Coordinator for the first edition of the festival in 2019.
 

In 2020 I joined the FENS team as an intern to expand my skills outside of the laboratory. Before the end of my internship, I got the opportunity to work for the ALBA Network and help in their mission to promote diversity and equity in brain science.
