Anna Konopka

Dr. Anna Konopka's research achievements underscore her pivotal role in advancing the understanding of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Motor Neuron Disease). Her work primarily focuses on studying DNA damage as a key contributor to the progression of ALS, a discovery that has profound implications for the disease's mechanism.

One of her most notable publications is her 2020 study in Molecular Neurodegeneration, which introduced DNA damage as a novel mechanism underlying ALS. This finding has opened new avenues for understanding and potentially targeting ALS at the molecular level.
