Era Taoufik, PhD, is a researcher working in the Neurobiology and Molecular Biology fields at the Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory of the Hellenic Pasteur Institute.

Her research focuses on the development and analysis of pre-clinical systems for neurological diseases to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms of brain physiology and pathology.

Her team applies cutting edge technologies in both in vitro and in vivo models of Parkinson’s disease to identify the spatiotemporal molecular and cellular dysfunctions during disease progression, with the ultimate aim to discover novel disease-modifying therapeutics.
