PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Dalhousie University Canada
Areas of Research
Mitochondria
Our research focuses on human mitochondria, essential organelles best known for generating both energy and reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, mitochondria are also key regulators of many other important cellular functions and their dysfunction has been implicated in a broad spectrum of human disorders and aging. Our research interests comprise two key aspects of basic mitochondrial function mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In addition, we are studying genetic causes of mitochondrial disease.
