Seminar Abstract: Our lab studies how genes guide cellular decisions in energy metabolism. I will discuss how mRNA translation preferences can govern mitochondrial biogenesis, influence metabolic disease susceptibility, and perhaps even contribute to the evolution of distinct metabolic phenotypes. Our long-term goal is to leverage an understanding of gene expression specificity in order to treat obesity, diabetes, and cachexia.
