is an accomplished biochemist and researcher who is reshaping our understanding of cellular mechanics, specifically regarding mitochondrial quality control and small heat shock proteins (HSPBs) . Currently working as an FWO PhD Scholar within the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Antwerp and collaborating with the Peripheral Neuropathy Research Group , Mendes' academic path highlights how fundamental biochemical research can unlock new solutions for complex neurological disorders. Academic Foundation and Interdisciplinary Training
Mendes has since appeared in a range of notable projects, including: ayesha kiran mendes
Identify upstream regulators for the immediate translocation of HSPBs to mitochondria.
Mendes' research career is characterized by a focus on neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders. She is a FWO (Research Foundation - Flanders) PhD Scholar
They form highly dynamic, polydisperse oligomeric ensembles.
Rapid translocation occurs immediately following induced protein misfolding. Permanently Enriched on the OMM polydisperse oligomeric ensembles.
Mendes completed her specialized training to understand the nexus between behavior and neuroscience. Her academic pursuits have been focused on molecular neuroscience, behavioral studies, and addiction. She has gained hands-on expertise in advanced neuroscience research tools, including conducting studies in behavioral neuroscience using Radial and Morris water maze techniques. Research at the University of Antwerp
She holds an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s degree in Research Neuroscience .
Analyzing mutants (like P182L) that trigger mitochondrial dysfunction.
