History of the Research Group
The group was formed in 2001 with the aim of forming a specialist research group to study and provide biochemical diagnostic capacity for mitochondrial- and other inherited metabolic diseases in South Africa. Over two decades this research aim expanded in scope to now include a wide range of investigations in several types of disease…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondria-research-laboratory/background-research
Background to the Research
With the background and expertise of the division of Biochemistry in inherited metabolic diseases and metabolism, the research topics of the group are structured around the involvement of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system in human diseases. Defects in the mitochondrial energy metabolism is not only the largest group of…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondrial-laboratory/research-objectives-and-technologies-used
Research Objectives and Technologies Used
The MRL is set up to investigate various aspects of mitochondrial function and disease from different approaches and is therefore a truly multidisciplinary research group. The laboratory is a very well-equipped with specialised apparatus for the following: Mitochondrial function: Mitochondrial oxidative…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondrial-laboratory/current-research-activities-and-developments
