Miratul Muqit has been awarded a Parkinson's UK studentship to investigate the functions of the PINK1 kinase in Parkinson's disease.
This 3-year studentship will aim to identify and characterize novel PINK1 substrates and builds on the work of a previous Parkinson's UK PhD student, Chandana Kondapalli, who identified the first PINK1 substrate, Parkin.
The successful candidate will deploy state-of-the-art technologies to investigate and characterize newly identified substrates of PINK1 and determine how these are linked to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's.
