Neuronal Models

Interests

My research focuses on understanding the disease mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. My expertise in stem cell research and disease modelling led to creating of a biobank of inducible stem cells from patients with ALS. I am currently modelling ALS in a dish using 2D and 3D organoids and exploring how mutations in the same gene can lead to different disease phenotypes, including ALS and frontotemporal dementia.
