Corona virus and the shutdown of the university has made
identifying a laboratory with the equipment I need and a researcher skilled in
mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation difficult. But I have identified a
possibility and I am progressing my Confirmation paper, with two studies on
identifying mitochondrial impairment and the specific signalling pathways along
the electron transport chain now written up. Monday I start on researching
Proteomics. I have an idea that I might be able to link the mitochondrial
proteomics with a blood biomarker by using the proteomics to identify the early
causes of increasing reactive oxygen species and changes to OXPHOS which
eventually leads into neurodegenerative progression.
