My work focuses on the characterization of disease using iPSC-derived neurons carrying disease associated mutations. I am using mass spectrometry proteomics to identify the proteome alterations of a specific mutation. Furthermore, I study the extracellular vesicles secreated by cells. I am interested to identify whether these vesicles carry disease associated cargo, and whether these vesicles can ‘spread disease’ to unaffected cells.
