Part of our dedicated Biochemistry Focus Early Career Researcher (ECR) series, this session explored the latest research into Ischaemia/Reperfusion injury, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, PMM2-CDG and Parkinson's Disease with the aim of shedding light on potential innovative therapeutics and treatments.

Speakers:

• Hiran Prag - 'Targeting mitochondrial succinate metabolism to treat ischaemia/reperfusion injury'
• James Lee - 'C9ORF72 repeat expansion mutation reduces mitochondrial function and mitophagy in neurons'
• Silvia Radenkovic - 'Investigating therapeutic mechanism of aldose reductase inhibition in PMM2-CDG'
• Francesco Capriglia - 'Autophagy and Mitophagy investigation in LRRK2 Parkinson’s patient fibroblast-derived dopaminergic neurons'

This webinar was chaired by Dr Hannah Dugdale, Loughborough University.
