About
Miratul Muqit is a Professor of Experimental Neurology at the University of Dundee, affiliated with the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms of Parkinson's disease, particularly the PINK1/Parkin pathway and ubiquitin-mediated signaling in neurodegeneration.
Research Interests: His work spans neuroprotective pathways, mitochondrial quality control (mitophagy), and kinase signaling in neuronal survival. Key areas include:
- Ubiquitin phosphorylation dynamics
- LRRK2/PINK1 convergence in ciliogenesis
- Therapeutic targeting of neurodegenerative processes
Awards & Recognition:
- Elected Fellow of Academy of Medical Sciences (2023)
- Fellow of Royal Society of Edinburgh (2020)
- Brian Cox Prize for Excellence in Public Engagement
Professional Activities: Active in public engagement through Parkinson's research interest groups and science festivals, translating complex neurological concepts for broader audiences.
