Funded Activity Summary

Carolyn Sue is a neurologist and scientist investigating the role of disturbed mitochondrial function in human disease. Mitochondria play a key role in maintaining energy levels and the cell’s health. When this function is impaired, cells may degenerate or die, and thus cause human disease. Dr Sue’s research is aimed at seeking improved treatments to treat mitochondrial disease and to further understanding about how brain cells degenerate when the mitochondria fail.
