Description

Mitochondria, once seen solely as energy producers, are now recognized as dynamic sensors crucial in diseases like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. At the Mitochondria and Metabolism Center (MMC), our research focuses on uncovering their multifaceted roles and translating discoveries into advanced diagnostics and therapies for a variety of conditions.
