Aquí teniu el fil de la meva tesi🧵, per si us l'havíeu perdut! @RedDivulga @filarramendi @UABBarcelona #HiloTesis
Sent la segona malaltia neurodegenerativa més freqüent, la malaltia de Parkinson ens toca de prop a molts. Des de @PPMC_UAB investigo per entendre millor l’origen del Parkinson i descobrir nous tractaments per combatre’l. @RedDivulga @filarramendi @UABBarcelona Abro #HiloTesis 👇

En resum, els objectius principals de la meva tesi són: 1⃣Estudiar els oligòmers tòxics d’alfa-sinucleïna per entendre millor l’origen i el funcionament de la malaltia de Parkinson. 2⃣Buscar fàrmacs per tractar el Parkinson basats en la inhibició de l’agregació d’alfa-sinucleïna.
