Alexandria Risbeck, University of Cambridge (supervisor: Rita Horvath)
Alexandria is pursuing her PhD in Clinical Neuroscience, at Cambridge University, to combine her knowledge in cellular genetics and neuroscience in the field of personalized medicine for neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Ataxia–telangiectasia. Her PhD project is focused on establishing a comprehensive set of molecular biomarkers capturing treatment effects on neuronal cells and patient samples, ultimately tailoring it to capture treatment effects on the single patient level.
