Jean-Claude Martinou Laboratory

Mitochondria play an essential role in cell homeostasis. Research in the lab is currently focused on two main areas: understanding the control of mitochondrial gene expression and investigating the pivotal role of pyruvate metabolism in neuronal activity and in carcinogenesis.

Mitochondries

Research in our lab is currently focused in three main areas

  1. Understanding the control of mitochondrial gene expression
  2. Investigating the pivotal role of pyruvate metabolism in maintaining metabolite homeostasis and neurotransmitter balance, and the control of cell fate
  3. Exploring the role of nutrients in epigenetic control of gene expression
