About
As a PhD student in the Lashuel lab, he studies fibrils that are involved in neurodegenerative diseases, using cell culture models as environment to seed, generate and study specific types of fibrils. For this, he uses correlative light and electron microscopy in a collaboration between the Lashuel and our lab.
