Functional proteomics of mitochondrial regulation

Focus

Molecular Mechanisms of Mitochondrial Disease Mitochondrial function depends on the precise assembly and repair of OXPHOS complexes. We are investigating the molecular mechanisms and key factors that control these important processes to understand their impact on health and disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

It studies how proteins control mitochondrial function, including energy production and cellular stress responses.

Because they provide the energy required for cardiac and vascular function, especially under stress conditions.

Impaired mitochondrial regulation can lead to energy deficits, oxidative stress, and cellular damage.
