Research Interests

Mitochondria are often described as the "powerhouse of the cell", but in fact their metabolic products contribute to a plethora of cellular functions including signalling, gene expression, and apoptosis. The high co-occurrence of mitochondrial disorders and neuropsychiatric disorders is what drives my research: Just how does mitochondria influence neurons and their functions? I analyse neurons using a next-generation sequencing point-of-view in our mouse model of bipolar disorder.
