 in Neurodegenerative Diseases\n\nMichela Deleidi\n\nResearch director\, IN
 SERM\, Imagine Institute\n\nMichela Deleidi graduated from Vita-Salute Uni
 versity\, San Raffaele Scientific Institute\, Milan\, Italy. She completed
  her residency in neurology followed by a research fellowship at the Neuro
 regeneration Institute at Harvard Medical School\, Boston\, USA. During th
 is time\, she focused on pluripotent stem cell technology for Parkinson's 
 disease (PD) modeling and regenerative medicine applications. She was awar
 ded an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship and moved to Germany to complete 
 her PhD studies at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE)
  in Tübingen. By combining cellular reprogramming with genome editing\, he
 r work led to one of the first stem cell-based models of Parkinson's disea
 se\, clearly demonstrating a mechanistic link to lysosomal storage disease
 s. Since 2016\, Michela Deleidi has been a Helmholtz Young Investigator at
  the DZNE and Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Tübing
 en. In January 2023\, she moved to France\, where she is INSERM research d
 irector of the 'Mechanisms and Therapy of Genetic Brain Diseases' team at 
 the Imagine Institute. The research vision of her group is to study how di
 screte genetic factors contribute to neurological disorders\, with a parti
 cular interest in the mechanistic links between rare inherited diseases an
 d age-related neurodegenerative diseases\, with a focus on mitochondrial m
 etabolism. Her team is developing models using induced pluripotent stem ce
 lls and long-term organoid cultures combined with single-cell analysis. Sh
 e has coordinated or participated in several research projects including A
 NR-DFG\, ERC\, JPND\, EC-ITN and E-Rare3 JTC\, and the ASAP-MJFF consortiu
