How do autophagic-lysosomal dysfunction and protein aggregation impact on the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease?
Janelle Blades
I have recently completed a 6 week placement in the University of Reading Health and Life Sciences Laboratories as part of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP). During the summer, between the second and third year of my Biomedical Sciences degree at Reading, I worked alongside Dr Susanna Cogo; shadowing her work, learning how to perform experiments independently and completing my own research. Whilst in the labs I also worked alongside PhD students and attended weekly meeting with scientists and PhD students in Reading and London to discuss their progress with research and collaborate ideas to enhance research further.
