MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF SEX-DIFFERENCES IN METABOLISM PHYSIOLOGY AND DISEASE

Our lab investigates how gender-based metabolic differences, particularly involving mitochondria, impact health and disease. We're focusing on two main projects: one related to metabolism and another to cardiovascular disease. In the metabolism project, we're studying how mitochondria vary between sexes and their role in physiological differences. For cardiovascular disease, we're exploring gender-related mitochondrial disparities during heart failure progression. Our goal is to identify potential therapeutic targets for heart failure.
