Mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegeneration
The Pickrell laboratory studies how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegenerative diseases and how mitochondria signal their functional status to other organelles. We use a variety of cell biology techniques and mouse model systems to study the powerhouse of the cell.
