Congratulations to Sabrina Romanelli, who received a prestigious Graduate Student Award from Parkinson Canada (205-2027 cycle). This competitive 2-yr $40,000 award was given to 11 exceptional doctoral trainees across Canada working on Parkinson’s disease. Sabrina’s project aims to elucidate the mechanism of PINK1 activation on damaged mitochondria via interactions with the translocation machinery. Her work will help us understand how Parkinson-associated genetic variants impair PINK1’s function.
