Dhaval Patel
Post-Doctoral Fellow
Coming to us from the exciting metropolis of Mumbai, Dhaval completed his Ph.D. in the lab of Stephen Witt at Louisiana State University in Shreveport where he utilized yeast models to uncover the function of sorting nexins in the trafficking of iron transporters. He also explored yeast as a model to examine the role of alpha-synuclein in endosomal trafficking pathways. He joined us to continue our work on the mechanisms of iron delivery to mitochondria, in a project initiated by Maxime Jacoupy. His interest in the role of Parkinson’s related proteins in these pathways remains keen and we look forward to the many new truths he will uncover.
