Description

Dynamics of mitochondrial cristae in life and death . This application seeks to use innovative approaches to address how massive structural arrangements in mitochondria are dealt with during normal cell function, and modulated during cell death. The study builds on discoveries made by a team with world-leading expertise in mitochondrial biology and cell death – and brings innovative, cutting-edge techniques in cell biology, proteomics and imaging. The findings will provide new fundamental insights into cellular organisation and uncover new principles of communication. Trainees will gain skills in technologies that are highly translatable and in demand in other areas of scientific endeavours. As such the expertise obtained will expand Australian research capabilities. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 0601 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Prof Michael Ryan
