We study the role of brain mitochondria in behavior
Our research aims to fully delineate how brain metabolism influences behaviors relevant to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases.
Behavior
We use rodents to investigate emotional and social behaviors that can model symptoms relevant to human disease
Respirometry
We measure mitochondrial function using high-resolution respirometry with the Oroboros system
Molecular Analyses
We perform various molecular measurements such as western blots, luciferase reporter assays, and quantitative pcr
