Stepahnie See, Graduate Student, Kampmann and Gestwicki Labs |
Stephanie See, a PhD student in the Kampmann and Gestwicki labs at the IND, was awarded the prestigious National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. Stephanie's research is focused on the cellular mechanisms controlling the aggregation and prion-like spread of the protein alpha-synuclein, which is associated with Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Her interdisciplinary project combines two innovative approaches: (1) the CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic screening technology, co-developed by IND faculty Dr. Martin Kampmann, and (2) a biochemical platform to investigate interactions with molecular chaperones, established by IND faculty Dr. Jason...
