Research Specialty
Research is mitochondrial biology, structural transcriptomics, genomics and integrative bioinformatics.
Research Description
My research interests involve structural and functional genomics, technology
development and the development of bioinformatic tools to integrate data gathered from diverse technological platforms such as gene expression profiles from DNA microarrays with protein expression patterns from Mass Spectrometry. Other research interests include the study of the mitochondrial protein Apoptosis Initiating Factor and related caspase-independent apoptosis, metabolic regulation and mitochondrial genetics as they relate to certain types of cancers.
