Judit is a Post-doc focusing on molecular mechanisms underlying stroke. For that she works with two different models: an in vivo model using genetic modified mice and an in vitro model using induced pluripotent stem cells where she’s trying to generate a blood-brain-barrier model. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, travelling, Netflix and a good conversation with wine. For Neurocamp she is responsible for recruiting sponsors and coordinating the team.

Miguel is a PhD student aiming to understand how our brains interpret and localize sound sources. As a physicist turned neuroscientist, he tries to combine computational and mathematical analyses with electrophysiological recordings of the neural activity of freely moving gerbils. When he’s not in the lab, Miguel enjoys hiking or biking through the natural landscapes around Munich.
