Funded Activity Summary

Mitochondria are microscopic, energy producing machines that are found in all human cells. Mitochondria contain a small set of genes that must work properly to make the energy our bodies require for health. Defects in the expression of genes coding for mitochondrial proteins causes debilitating diseases for which there are effective treatments. I will investigate how a mitochondrial protein whose dysfunction is known to cause a metabolic disease regulates mitochondrial gene expression.
