After graduating with a degree in psychology in 2021, Sirine Hassen completed a Masters in cognitive science at the University of Lille, with a focus on research. She did her research placement at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Centre, helping to write a scientific article. Sirine continued her second year working with a company that develops virtual reality cognitive training programmes for different audiences. In particular, she worked on the effect of virtual reality cognitive training on executive functions. She quickly developed a keen interest in Parkinson's disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Sirine then worked as a business engineer at the Institut Carnot de la Cognition. In autumn 2024, Sirine will join our research team as a PhD student working on the brain expression of serotonin 5-HT4 receptors in Parkinson's disease. Sirine is delighted to be part of the adventure and to be joining the Neuroplasticity in Parkinson's Disease team.
