Control of mitochondrial network size, topology and function in budding yeast cells.
The long-term goal of my lab is to understand the spatial and dynamic organization of the cell at all levels of complexity:
-How is the 3-dimensional geometry (size, shape, position, dynamics) of organelles and intracellular structures generated at the molecular level, regulated system-wide to respond to the needs of the cell, and integrated to organize the cell?
-How does improper internal organization contribute to the cellular basis of disease?
