| Dr. Ellen Nollen currently holds a Rosalind Franklin Fellowship at the
Department of Genetics, University Medical Centre Groningen, in the Netherlands, where she
is studying the molecular basis of Parkinson’s disease and working on C. elegans
models for protein-misfolding diseases. The results will aid understanding of the cellular
processes underlying age-related, misfolding diseases and may yield potential drug targets
for Parkinson’s disease and other related disorders. She has previously worked in the
Dept. of Functional Genomics, Hubrecht Laboratory, Utrecht, under Prof. Ronald Plasterk,
and in the Dept. of Biochemistry, Northwestern University, Evanston, USA, under Prof. Rick
Morimoto. She completed her doctorate thesis on “Hsp70 chaperone functions in stressed
cells” in 2000 under Prof. Harm Kampinga at the University of Groningen. |
