Understanding the link between mitochondrial biogenesis and disease [ 2009 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Ann Frazier (Principal investigator)

Brief description As the predominate energy producers of our cells, mitochondria are implicated in a variety of diseases. To function properly, these dynamic organelles rely on protein components that regulate their structure and distribution throughout the cell. My work aims to expand our knowledge of the way these components control mitochondrial shape and trafficking. By understanding the correlation between mitochondrial morphology and function, we will gain insight into related diseases.
