Functional Epi-Genomics of Aging and Alzheimer's Disease

Our laboratory investigates the molecular underpinnings of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, with a particular interest in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We hypothesize that genetics, epigenetics, and the interaction of both – “neuro-epi-genetics” –, have long-lasting effects on brain function. To tackle this hypothesis, we use mouse models and human samples, and combine molecular and behavioral neuroscience with state-of-the-art single-cell, next generation sequencing (NGS), bioinformatic tools and epi-genetic editing.

MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION IN METABOLIC DISEASES

Mitochondria are intricate organelles with vital metabolic roles in cells. Our lab concentrates on defects in the oxidative phosphorylation system caused by mitochondrial mutations linked to diseases. We investigate how these dysfunctions impact cellular health and metabolic processes, aiming to comprehend their effects on conditions such as neurodegeneration and diabetes. Our long-term goal is to develop therapies based on this knowledge.

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.
