Excellent Margarita's work over the PhD, "Mimicking FUS hypomethylation preferentially weakens excitatory synapses via AMPA and NMDA-receptor dysregulation", she found a specific role of FUS in glutamate receptors. Well done 👏 @KingsIoPPN

Really sad that we lost a remarkable scientist who had a lot of passion to discover the memory mechanism and be an exceptional mentor for all of us in the neuroscience community. I can say only THANK YOU and missing you🙏
