New visiting Phd student in Denham Lab

Martina Pacetti is a PhD student at University of Perugia in Italy. She will spent the next six months in Denham Lab as a trainee.

The aim of this traineeship is to establish a novel Amyotrophic Latera Sclerosis (ALS) disease model where the expression of different mutant SOD1 proteins could be reversibly regulated with a prokaryotic destabilization protein domain. The results obtained through the described research activities will lay the base for a possible application of an ALS therapeutic strategy based on a PROTAC induced degradation approach.
