Ana Maria Vaz Portugal da Silva
Developmental neuroscientist
Biography
Ana is a developmental neuroscientist who moved to Stockholm in Sweden early in 2020 to join the Development and Neurodiversity Lab at the Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala University. She is interested in how individual (i.e., genetic susceptibilities) and environmental factors (e.g., training, society) shape social, cognitive, and brain development early in life and beyond. She really enjoys science dissemination and exchange with the public, from small discussions with parents and practitioners to busy museum workshops with children.
