ICVS researcher Nuno Dinis Alves was granted with the Career Support Grant by the International Society for Neurochemistry.
The Career Support Grant program aims to empower junior researchers during their transition to scientific independence. The program is critical for the consolidation of the next generation of neurochemists worldwide.
Nuno Dinis Alves is interested in understanding the involvement of specific projections of the serotonergic system in the brain to different behaviors including mood and cognition, especially in relation to mental health. The research also aims to understand how this system can be targeted to develop new therapies.
