On todays episode, we talk to Dr Sarah Marzi from Imperial College London all about her work into the epigenetic regulation in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons. Sarah tells us about her journey into this field and describes what exactly neurodegenerative diseases are?! She also talks to us about her contributions to the field so far, including her work on epigenetic modifications, more specifically histone acetylation differences in people with and without Alzheimers and what these histone modifications mean for gene regulation. She also tells us all about the current and future plans for her research and her lab, which sounds very promising and exciting.
