Hi, I’m Alicja a PhD student with @MortiboysLab. My project aims to investigate age-related changes in the highly specialised process of removal of damaged mitochondria, mitophagy, in  human fibroblasts, induced neurons and hepatocytes using three different methods. #ECROfTheWeek

[Neuroscience Institute @neuroshef]

This new building will allow SITraN and the Neuroscience Institute to continue the development of a globally recognised hub of research excellence. It will lead to expanded drug discovery programmes and support further work on promising areas of research in cell and gene therapy.
