Júlia Sala Jarque

Research Summary:

At the Kosik Lab, my research investigates how TDP-43 dysfunction contributes to cellular pathology within the ALS/FTD spectrum. By combining different techniques such as: single-cell RNA sequencing, human brain organoids, and immunofluorescence, I aim to dissect the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving neurodegeneration.

About Júlia:

Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading and reflecting on the philosophy of science, especially questions about the ethics and limits of knowledge, often through conversations with researchers from diverse fields. I am also a proud mother of a little boy, who constantly teaches me new perspectives and reminds me of the importance of curiosity and growth beyond academia.
