 Magdalini Polymenidou, PhD
Research Focus: investigating mechanisms by which mutations in the gene encoding for TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Focused on the role of TDP-43 in RNA metabolism and exploring the possibility that pathogenic mutations on TDP-43 may deregulate the RNA homeostasis within the central nervous system.
