Research Fellow Dr Cristina Martínez González Hugh Robson Building 15 George Square Edinburgh, EH8 9XD Contact details Email: cristina.martinez-gonzalez@ed.ac.uk Web: https://sidb.org.uk/matt-nolan/cristina-martinez-gonzalez LSM3D: https://discovery-brain-sciences.ed.ac.uk/light-sheet-microscopy-and-3d-analysis-core-facility-lsm3d Web: Duguid Lab Research Group Research My research aims to understand the mechanisms underlying ASD. I use neuronal activity markers combined with optical tissue clearing and light-sheet microscopy to map hyper- or hypo-activated neurons in the entire brain. Personal profile 2017-present Post-doctoral research fellow. Simons Initiative for the Development Brain (SIDB). University of Edinburgh. 2016- 2016 Visiting Post-doctoral fellow at Prof. Catherina Becker’s group. University of Edinburgh. 2013-2016 Post-doctoral scientist at Prof. Gregoire Courtine’s group. EPFL, Switzerland. 2007-2012 D.Phil in Neurosciences. University of Oxford, UK. 2004-2006 M.Sc. in Biochemistry. UNAM, Mexico. 2000-2004 B.Sc. in Basic biomedical research. UNAM, Mexico. Light-Sheet Microscopy and 3D Analysis (LSM3D) https://discovery-brain-sciences.ed.ac.uk/light-sheet-microscopy-and-3d-analysis-core-facility-lsm3d A light-sheet microscopy imaging and 3D analysis facility based at the University of Edinburgh that is open to everyone in the research community. What do we do: Tissue processing (optical clearing including RatDISCO, histology and immunolabelling) Imaging of whole/intact tissue using 3D light-sheet microscopy 3D image analysis and figures (FIJI, QUINT, ARIVIS) Plus: Scope for developing new correlative imaging technologies, viral tracing and light-sheet microscopy. Collaborative writing and figures for grants and funding applications.
