Panos will be performing a research visit at KU Leuven. He will utilize the grant to gain insights and hands-on training in Spectral Flow Cytometry. 

The goal of the PhD of Karen is to identify suppressors of mitochondrial stress induced by proteotoxic damage which is relevant to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, I will use the grant to visit Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York to follow the course: “Advanced Techniques in Molecular Neuroscience”. This specific CSHL program is an intensive two-week course that will provide me with hands-on experience in cutting-edge techniques and knowledge essential for my PhD project. Karen: "I am looking forward to further enhance my knowledge to study and control the effects of protein aggregation on mitochondrial function in neuronal cells."
