The award supports research on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and its role in embryogenesis, focusing on tissue-specific mitochondrial ETC levels in C. elegans to understand developmental energy demands and signaling.
Description
This project aims to develop C. elegans as a model to understand mitochondrial ETC regulation and specialization in development, with implications for understanding development, mitochondrial biology, and metabolic disorders.
