We are excited to welcome @PD_Mito, an @alzheimerssoc funded fellow from @UniofNewcastle.
"I’m thrilled to be here to learn how to establish α-synuclein iPSC models-a key part of my fellowship exploring how age-related mitochondrial decline links to synuclein aggregation".

Excited to share a preprint from my PhD work at @taylorlabncl. In this work, we characterised the pathological role of human COA5 in the early stage of mitochondrial complex IV assembly through complexome profiling.
