Hi everyone! I’m Danilo Giarlini, I obtained my Bachelor ‘s degree in Biology and my Master’s degree in Neurobiology from “Sapienza” University of Rome, Italy. During my master’s thesis internship, I studied the involvement of a specific hippocampal protein - Complexin-2 - in spatial learning and memory in mice in the laboratory of Prof. Andrea Mele. Since I’m really interested in … Read more. |
My name is Peter Sabol and I come from Slovakia, but spent most of my life in neighboring Czechia to study Biology and Plant Physiology at the Charles University. I also did my Ph.D. in the lab of Viktor Žárský in Prague, Czechia, where I studied various aspects of plant exocyst complex function in the context of cell polarity establishment …

Our lab investigates the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, most notably ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), FTD (frontotemporal dementia) and Alzheimer’s disease. We seek to unravel how certain RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), in particular TDP-43 and FUS, become mislocalized and aggregated in these disorders, and how dysregulation of these RBPs causes a decline in cell function and neurodegeneration. Our previous research … Read more. |
