I was on Dario Alessi’s Team Lab tour. We started with a round table in Dario’s office. Dario explained the structure of proteins and showed us a 3D model of a LRKK 2 protein. He explained how some proteins experience genetic mutations which can lead to Parkinson’s Disease.
I joined the tour of the Dundee imaging facility (DIF), led by the DIF manager Paul Appleton and Prof. Ian Ganley accompanied by two postdoctoral members of his lab, Aniketh Bishnu and Lea Wilhelm.
