New postdoc fellow joins NUS group to decipher downstream signal propagation mechanisms in death receptors

Julia Simon Martin obtained a PhD in Molecular Biology in 2011 from the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain under the direction of Drs. Luis Miguel Garcia-Segura and Maria-Angeles Arevalo, for discoveries concerning the actions of Neurogenin 3 on dendrite and synapse formation in hippocampal neurons. She is joining the NUS team to unravel the downstream signal propagation mechanisms underlying the actions of neuronal death receptors in health and disease.
