Dr. Sokhna M. S. Yakhine-Diop is a postdoctoral researcher at Universidad de Extremadura. Her Ph.D. project was focused on the implication of protein acetylation in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis and/or autophagy impairment. She aimed to determine the impact of acetylation levels in primary cells from PD patients with or without the G2019S LRRK2 mutation, the most common in PD cases. She has also participated in others, mainly dedicated to the study of metabolism in PD cell patients and LRRK2 transgenic mice.To date, Sokhna is working on the role of lysosome dysfunction in the progression of neuromuscular dystrophies. She is a member of SIGMA XI, GWI, SEBBM, SEFAGIA, INUBE, and CIBERNED.
