Mitochondria driven priming of a stem/progenitor cell state: possible impact of the environment

The cellular organelles, mitochondria, which are classically known as the powerhouse of the cells, respond to various stimuli and contribute to various cell fate decisions. Dr. Mitra's seminar will focus on how modulation of mitochondrial structure-function regulates cell cycle and stemness, and how environmental carcinogens may impact such a regulatory circuitry. The data presented are obtained employing cell biology and genetics/genomics tools in mammalian cells and Drosophila model.

THIS SEMINAR WILL BE REMOTE-ONLY (ZOOM):
