Position Details (PhD Program)

This Examining the dysfunction of DNA damage repair in synucleinopathies project at University of Dundee would build upon determining similarities in nuclear pathology and DNA repair dysfunction in other synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple systems atrophy.

This Examining the dysfunction of DNA damage repair in synucleinopathies project is offered at University of Dundee .

Context

DNA damage is an emerging stressor implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Recent research within post-mortem dementia with Lewy body brain tissue has highlighted the dysregulation of several DNA damage repair pathways, alongside the occurrence of a novel nuclear alpha-synuclein pathology.

This project woulddelineate

  • the underlying relationship between alpha-synuclein pathology
  • alterations in DNA damage repair and it’s impact on genomic integrity
