MEET
THE MITOTEAM

Assistant Professor

Rajarshi Chakrabarti

Our studies are directed to mechanistically understand specific role(s) of the actin cytoskeleton in organelle dynamics, regulation and crosstalk

Raphael Rubin Professor of Medicine

György Hajnóczky

Our study focuses on the roles of mitochondrial signaling and dynamics in health and disease.

Professor

Suresh K. Joseph

My lab studies the regulation of calcium release by IP3 receptors and the uptake of calcium by the mitochondrial calcium uniporter.

Professor of Medicine

Shey-Shing Sheu

Our research vision is to improve health and cure disease through toning mitochondrial energetics, Ca2+, and redox signaling

Technology Development Director

David Weaver

I direct the MitoCare efforts toward developing innovative applications of technology to problems in mitochondrial biology, from data acquisition to analysis.

Associate Professor

György Csordás

We study how the structure of mitochondria and their contacts with organelles translate to function and/or to disease etiology.

Professor

Jan B. Hoek

Our research in the Hoek laboratory focuses on the unique regenerative capabilities of the liver and how they are distinctively regulated by mitochondrial calcium signaling and alcohol metabolism.

Associate Professor

Erin L. Seifert

In the Seifert lab we study the regulation of mitochondrial substrate metabolism as well as the nature of cellular ‘stress’ responses triggered in vivo by mammalian mitochondrial dysfunction.

Assistant Professor

Marco Tigano

In the Tigano lab we perform foundational research in the field of mitochondrial disorders and stress signaling.
