Ayesha Kiran Mendes Full Patched

Understanding these proteins is a notable challenge. They form highly dynamic, polydisperse oligomeric ensembles and possess extensive intrinsically disordered regions. Research from her laboratory has revealed a dual mechanism for these chaperones:

Working alongside leading laboratories to present complex molecular findings in highly accessible terms for patient advocacy groups like Spierziekten Vlaanderen vzw . Researcher(s) Promoter: Timmerman Vincent

Working under the supervision of Dr. Laurent Groc, she spent 6 months inside the laboratory of Molecular Neuropsychology. There, she mastered cell culture, SPIN microscopy, immunocytochemistry, and transfection techniques to express isolated NMDA receptors using ectopic retention signals. Breakthrough PhD Research at the University of Antwerp

At the core of her doctoral research is the study of and their exact role in mitochondrial maintenance. Mitochondria act as cellular powerhouses, but they require strict quality control to prevent cellular death.
