Mitochondria at neuronal synapses: why are they there?
Mike studied pre-clinical medicine at King’s College, Cambridge, and then completed his clinical studies at UCL. Following postgraduate clinical training, he joined John Hardy’s lab at UCL, to develop human stem cell models of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Following completion of specialist clinical training in Neurology, he carried out postdoctoral work in Josef Kittler’s lab at UCL, researching mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction in PD. He is currently clinical group leader at the Crick Institute, examining the interaction between mitochondria and neuronal synapses, and how this can be disrupted in neurological and psychiatric disease. As a clinician, he sees patients at the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, and University College Hospital.
