BiographyResearch theme 1: Understanding the role of protein mislocalization in neurodegenerative diseasesCorrect protein subcellular localization is fundamental for protein/protein interactions, proper functionality, and downstream processing. If impaired, this can lead to protein degradation (quality control mechanism) or disease. In the case of Parkinson’s disease and ALS, the proteins alpha-Synuclein (a-Syn) and TDP-43 aberrantly accumulate, respectively contributing to disease pathology. T...
