About Me
I was born and grew up in Santiago, Chile. My college education was at the Faculty of Sciences, Universidad de Chile (major in Biology, concentration in Neuroscience). I moved to the US in 1986 to do a PhD at Brandeis University, then did post-docs at the Ecole Normale Superieure (Paris, France), U. Kaiserslautern (Germany) and at HHMI (Mass Gen Hospital, Boston).
