Dissertation Research (Pramod Dash, PhD):Investigating the role of mitochondrial fission in hippocampal pathology and associated learning and memory deficits in rodent models of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Postdoctoral Research (Richard J. Youle, PhD):Current research focuses on understanding how defects in the selective degradation of mitochondria (mitophagy) due to mutations in PINK1 or PRKN lead to cell death, inflammation, and progressive neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease. Specifically, I am investigating the basic molecular machinery underlying quality control at the mitochondrial membranes and the degradation of intramitochondrial components, such as mtDNA, that may act as cytosolic signaling factors for activating innate immune pathways due to defects inin mitophagy.
