   8th Jun 2023   [thesis](https://sysbio.taltech.ee/news/tag:thesis#body-wrapper) [BSc](https://sysbio.taltech.ee/news/tag:BSc#body-wrapper) [gene technology](https://sysbio.taltech.ee/news/tag:gene%20technology#body-wrapper) [creatine-deficient mice](https://sysbio.taltech.ee/news/tag:creatine-deficient%20mice#body-wrapper) [skeletal muscle](https://sysbio.taltech.ee/news/tag:skeletal%20muscle#body-wrapper) [myosin heavy chain](https://sysbio.taltech.ee/news/tag:myosin%20heavy%20chain#body-wrapper)  

Congratulations to Kärol Soodla on defending her bachelor's thesis, *Links between energetics and muscle phenotype: pure creatine deficiency leads to skeletal muscle atrophy and shift in myosin heavy chain composition*.

Supervised by Romain Bernasconi and Rikke Birkedal Nielsen, Kärol's work examined how pure creatine deficiency relates to skeletal-muscle atrophy and changes in myosin heavy-chain composition.

We congratulate Kärol on this important milestone and wish her every success in her future work.
