More about Matas...
Hello, my name is Matas Merkelis. I am a 22-year-old medical and veterinary biochemist. I graduated from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (2020-2024).
For the last few years I have been working at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Institute of Neurosciences, Biochemistry Laboratory and Laboratory of Pharmacological Regulation of Pathological Processes and Drug Metabolism. I have worked with various cell cultures and studied molecular factors involved in Parkinson's disease, such as neurotoxicity of amyloidogenic proteins and neuroinflammation.
During this time I have attended and presented 2 poster presentations at international conferences related to neurodegenerative diseases. I have also gained experience in medical biochemistry and diagnostics during my studies and additional internships in hospitals and private medical laboratories.
