Nicolas G. Bazan is a neuroscientist and eye researcher, author, educator,
mentor, entrepreneur, music enthusiast, and art lover. His research focuses on
neurodegenerative diseases, aiming to understand endogenous modulation of
neuroinflammatory signaling, with a lifelong quest to help people affected by
stroke, Alzheimer's disease, pain, blindness, and other diseases. He has written
two books: The Dark Madonna: A Fable of Resilience and Imagination and Una
Vida: A Fable of Music and the Mind, from which this movie is based.
