Research on iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis pathways in anaerobic eukaryotes. Our lab investigates how these ancient metabolic machineries have been retained and modified in organisms that lost their mitochondria.
Mitochondrial Protein Import
We study how proteins are targeted to and imported into mitochondria-related organelles in diverse eukaryotic lineages, with a focus on how these pathways diverged from the ancestral mitochondrial system.
