Molecular Bioenergetics Group
This research field focuses on key processes like mitochondrial function, ATP synthesis, and metabolic fluxes. It combines biochemistry, biophysics, and isotope tracing to unravel how energy drives life — from cellular respiration to disease mechanisms.
Current Projects
- Tracing Mitochondrial Metabolic Flux Using C-13 Isotopes
Investigate energy flow in the TCA cycle under stress using stable isotope labeling. - ATP Synthase Regulation During Cellular Aging
Study how aging affects mitochondrial ATP production and bioenergetic efficiency. - Nutrient Impact on Mitochondrial Performance
Analyze how different diets influence ATP yield and ROS generation. - 13C-Based Metabolic Flux Analysis of the TCA Cycle in Cancer vs. Normal Cells
A comparative study using isotope tracing to reveal metabolic differences with therapeutic relevance.
