AAIC 2021 Round-up - Live Plenary

In today’s podcast Professor Selina Wray from University College London, meets four early career researchers, who know a great deal about the brain, human iPSC derived cells and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (not that isn’t a new type of electric car). We’ll be discussing their research, discovering more about super resolution microscopy, and how they’re researching the ubiquitin proteasome system, and its connection to dementia. We’re delighted to welcome our guests: PhD Students Liina Sirvio, Katiuska Daniela Pulgar Prieto from the UK Dementia Research Institute at Imperial College London. Georgie Lines, PhD Student from University College London and Dr Emma Mee Haynes a Postdoctoral Research Associate also from the UK Dementia Research Institute at Imperial College London. What is the purpose of ubiquitin proteasome system? In eukaryotic cells, proteasomes perform crucial roles in many cellular pathways by degrading proteins to enforce quality control and regulate many cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, signal transduction, cell death, immune responses, metabolism, protein-quality control, and development.
