Funded Activity Summary

Deciphering new regulators of lipid metabolism: a focus on lipid droplets . Lipid droplets store lipids in cells and the mitochondria break down this lipid to generate energy. Both organelles are critical for energy metabolism and cell survival. This project aims to determine the proteins that regulate the interaction between mitochondria and lipid droplets, and how these proteins regulate metabolism. It is anticipated that this project will identify the essential components of lipid droplet-mitochondria interactions and their impact on regulating cellular lipid metabolism. The intended outcome of this project is to provide fundamental new knowledge in understanding how organelles interact and how lipid metabolism is regulated. This knowledge has applications for the primary industries and biotechnology sector.
