In 2020, Theresa Lüth completed her master thesis under the supervision of Dr. Joanne Trinh in the group “Integrative Omics Approaches in Parkinson’s Disease” and started as a Ph.D. student this year. During her Ph.D. thesis, she will investigate genetic and environmental modifiers associated with the age at onset of Parkinson’s disease and use the novel third-generation sequencing technology to explore epigenetic factors of the mitochondrial genome and its implication in the disease.
