Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease and cancer [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Aleksandra Filipovska (Principal investigator)

Brief description Mitochondria are responsible for the production of more than 90% of the energy required by the cell. Therefore mitochondrial dysfunction they cause and contribute significantly to a range of diseases including metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and cancer. We will discover how mitochondrial function fails in these common diseases and develop targeted treatments for these diseases targeting mitochondrial dysfunction.
