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…http://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…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondrial-laboratory/current-research-activities-and-developments
