Lina Garcia

PhD candidate in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior and my research focus on the neuroprotection with phytochemicals derived by plants against different types of pesticides in honey bees , bumble bees and rat models. Also, i have experience cell culture primary and neuronal plasticity to try to understand the mechanisms that underlie this protection. I also have experience in laboratory techniques( biochemistry, molecular and behavioral techniques) for study research projects in science.
