Shohreh Issazadeh-Navikas, professor, Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen.

Professor Issazadeh-Navikas’ research focuses among other things on mitochondrial DNA damage, i.e. damage to the genetic material in the “energy factories” of our cells. The hypothesis she seeks to study in her research project relates specifically to this type of damage. Professor Issazadeh-Navikas will investigate whether this damage can spread from cell to cell within the brain and result in pronounced cell death.
