Research project awarded to study alpha-synuclein's role in DNA repair and cellular senescence, with implications for aging-related diseases, funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Description
The project focuses on the role of alpha-synuclein in DNA repair and its implications for aging-related diseases such as Parkinson's Disease and melanoma. The project involves in vitro and in vivo methodologies, including genetic knockout models and imaging techniques. It aims to understand the molecular mechanisms linking neurodegeneration and cancer.
