Brief description Life needs energy. We breathe and eat to make the universal biological fuel adenosine triphosphate (ATP). We turn over our own body weight in ATP every day and imbalances in this process lead to severe disorders such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease as well as to ageing. For any real breakthroughs we need to understand the machinery behind biological energy conversion in molecular detail and this is what my laboratory is aiming to achieve.
