New lab members

We are pleased to welcome 2 new arrivals to the Duchen Lab:

Anitta Chako, a Cell and Developmental Biology PhD student and Mona Alawadhi, a Genetics of Human Disease Masters student.

Anitta is collaborating with Nanna Therapeutics to investigate potential treatment strategies for Primary Mitochondrial disease with the utilisation of induced pluripotent stem cells-derived models. 

Anitta and Mona will be working with Chih-Yao Chung and Gabriel Valdebenito on mtDNA mutations. See our project outline here https://mitochondria.cs.ucl.ac.uk/the_duchen_lab/projects/
