Before joining Neurasmus, I was working as pharmacology lecturer at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. With strong inclination in neuroscience and the vision to be part of this young field of science, I had to put persistent hard work and series of trials before I get privileged to join Neurasmus. With a background in pharmacology, I chose “Track 2 Neuropharmacology” in Universite de Bordeaux as my first year track. As a matter of fact, the first semester was intensive. But I witness that the courses are delivered by professors and researchers who demonstrate excellence in their specialty. At the end of the semester, I have gotten the entirety of the wide range of domains in neuroscience where it made it possible to imagine myself in my future academic career. For the five month internship the university avails a list of projects from which I joined the lab of Pascal Branchereau to study chloride homeostasis using electrophysiological, biochemical and imaging techniques. My plan for second year is to follow advanced courses in medical neuroscience in Berlin. Indeed Neurasmus is a prestigious family and truly international that provides the platform for flexible mobility and tremendously supports me to live my dreams. After completion of Neurasmus, I will pursue doctoral studies in neuropharmacology.
