Julie Atkin is a professor at Macquarie University whose research is focused on the basic cellular and molecular signaling mechanisms involved in neurons and neurodegeneration. She has a particular interest in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), and its related condition, frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Her research includes the role of cellular trafficking and DNA damage response, particularly how these processes trigger neurodegeneration. Over the years, she has led numerous research projects investigating novel therapeutic approaches for ALS including environmental risk factors, gene therapy targeting aging in MND, and the role of specific RNA species in the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia. In addition to her research, Atkin is actively involved in external collaborations, contributing to several high-profile projects aimed at advancing the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.
