Our Lab in a Snapshot:

The Biochemistry Section currently focuses on discovering the functions and interrelationships among proteins mutated in familial Parkinson’s disease and ALS. This has led the unit to explore the molecular mechanisms of autophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, apoptosis and mitochondrial quality control.
