Brief Description of Research Interest :

My research focuses on understanding mitochondrial metabolism, inter-organelle communication, and quality-control mechanisms as central regulators of cellular health in both mammalian and yeast systems. I aim to uncover how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to a broad range of disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, metabolic syndromes, and peripheral neuropathies. By investigating the fundamental cell biology of mitochondria, including signaling, organelle crosstalk, and protein homeostasis, my work seeks to elucidate the mechanisms that maintain organelle and cellular homeostasis and identify potential strategies to prevent or treat diseases associated with mitochondrial impairment.
