Project leader of the Parkinson’s-on-Chip Model (PoCM) project: Developing an Early Proteotoxicity Screening Model of Prion-like Propagation in α-Synuclein Related Neurodegeneration

1.10.2017 – 30.09.2019

 

Contributing as postdoctoral researcher to IMPRiND project – Inhibiting Misfolded Protein Propagation in Neurodegenerative Diseases. Project aims to map and target critical steps in the propagation of misfolded tau and α-synuclein, considered the main culprits of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease respectively.
