Listen "8. Mutant Huntington Lowering in the Oxidative Stress Response of HD Neurons - Ritika Jeloka"

Episode Synopsis

The newest guest is Ritika Jeloka, who at Intel ISEF this year won Second Award in the category of Cellular and Molecular Biology. Her project, which she conducted at the University of Central Florida, focuses on Huntington’s disease (HD), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, and how it might be related from a molecular perspective to the process of oxidative stress, which she’s gonna expand on in the conversation. She is definitely characterized by an external focus, wanting to help others any way she possibly can. Take a few moments of science with us!
