PhD student | Parkinson’s + RNA | @MitoResearch @uniofnewcastle @DiMeN_DTP
One of the best things I did this year was the Research Committee Internship @CureParkinsonsT. I learned so much and was inspired by the world-leading Parkinson's researchers. The vacancy for next year is now open if you're interested! @UniofNewcastle cureparkinsons.org.uk/2024/11/insigh…
I can highly recommend both the research group and the DiMeN DTP!
Exciting opportunity for a PhD studentship at Newcastle looking at mitonuclear communicaiton - findaphd.com/phds/project/m…
Excited to share a preprint from my PhD work at @taylorlabncl. In this work, we characterised the pathological role of human COA5 in the early stage of mitochondrial complex IV assembly through complexome profiling. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… A huge thank you to all collaborators!
Thrilled that this paper is finally published! Please check this out if you are interested in how we used nanobiopsy to facilitate subcellular mitochondrial genomics. Many thanks to @DrPerscitus @paoloactis @AmyV91 @AngPH09
Congratulations @Mitochondri_Al on your recent paper on the sue of nanobiopsy to study subcellular heteroplasmy! tinyurl.com/4ydhm5ep @DrPerscitus @paoloactis @AngPH09 @mitomusclelab
On my first #WorldParkinsonsDay2024 since joining @MitoResearch I'd like to thank all those involved @ParkinsonsUK @MichaelJFoxOrg and look forward to some exciting new research involving mitochondria, astrocytes and Parkinson's disease
Wearing blue for #WorldParkinsonsDay2024! Proud to be working in this great team researching Parkinson's - check out some of our latest work identifying reduced circRNA expression in early-stage Parkinson's patients here -> nature.com/articles/s4153… @DiMeN_DTP @MichaelJFoxOrg
On the #WorldParkinsonsDay2024, I want to thank our patients, families and charity funders @ParkinsonsUK @MichaelJFoxOrg. And to reshare our latest @Nature_NPJ paper, revealing new links between mitochondria and neuronal loss. go.nature.com/3OZUEVn
Exciting opportunity to come & work with our NHS team improving the diagnosis of #mitodisease using #bioinformatics
Check out out latest work looking at circRNAs in PD: nature.com/articles/s4153… -> @b_whittle's first manuscript! Huge thanks to @AlisonYarnall @rachellawson85 @4130chromo @osagie_izuogu @AngPH09 and everyone at @MichaelJFoxOrg, @realmikefox and @ParkinsonsUK
New research from @b_whittle @DrPerscitus & @UniofNewcastle colleagues identifies a replicable increase in TMEM252 & LMNB1 gene expression (& circRNA ESYT2, BMS1P1 & CCDC9) in early-stage idiopathic #Parkinsons (PPMI & ICICLE data sets) nature.com/articles/s4153…

When writing #RStats scripts I often take a look at the outcome first, before assigning it to an object. This is fine, as long the function calls are inexpensive. If they are, base R’s `.Last.value` comes in handy. It has saved me more than once from re-running expensive code.
I’ll be at PB1700 from 3-5 today presenting my work on circular RNA expression in early-stage Parkinson’s - come say hi! #ASHG2023
Thank you for sharing our research 🩵 parkinsonsnewstoday.com/news/mitochond…
Can’t wait to start #WalkforParkinsons @ParkinsonsUK @b_whittle @aa_ameliaaaaa @DrPerscitus
Check out our @DrPerscitus @AmyV91 new publication on mitochondrial quality control in the neurons of individuals with Parkinson's @SpringerNature. This work is funded by @MichaelJFoxOrg and supported by @NewcastleFCCF @MitoResearch @UniofNewcastle. nature.com/articles/s4153…
Happy to share the first preprint from my PhD in which we investigate circular RNA expression in Parkinson's disease researchsquare.com/article/rs-320…

A fairytale ending for a legend of the game. Broady, thank you ❤️ #EnglandCricket | #Ashes
Fun few days in (sunny) Glasgow at #ESHG2023 - great experience for my first conference!
