Bio:

Dr. Parra received his B.S. and M.S. Degree in Biochemistry from the Catholic University of Valparaiso, Chile. He conducted research in the laboratory of Dr. Gonzalo Torres at the University of Pittsburgh, where he focused on the regulation of dopamine and the physiological role of brain specific transporters. Dr. Parra obtained his M.S. in Clinical Investigation and PhD in Neuroscience under the direction of Dr. Erik Jorgensen at the University of Utah (a laboratory of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute), where he studied the molecular basis of synaptic transmission, the crosstalk between neurons. Currently, he continues his post-doctoral training with Dr. Subhojit Roy at the University of California San Diego. In the Roy lab his research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying the functions of synaptic proteins in neurodegenerative disorders.
