Christopher B. Jackson, PI
Enthusiastic about mitochondrial-nuclear signalling and how metabolism shapes structure and vice versa.
Off in the woods in his free-time.
Geoffray Monteuuis, PhD
Excited about understanding the complex signalling interactions and intricate links in mitochondrial dysfunction. Enthusiastic about our hypothesis-driven genome-wide CRISPR screen.
Ryan Awadhpersad, PhD student
Enthusiastic about (genome-wide genetic) editing and generation of mitochondrial disease models.
Enthusiastic about metabolic networks and specific metabolic flux in mitochondrial disease and cancer models.
He holds a salaried PhD position in the Doctoral programme in Integrative Life Science.
Ananya Thakur, MSc, Research Assistant
Enthusiastic about learning and exploring complex metabolic pathways and their regulatory mechanisms. Currently working on analyzing alterations in metabolic pathways using computational tools.
I hold a Master’s degree with a specialization in Molecular Medicine and a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry.
Nazanin Emami, MSc student
I’m doing a 6-month Master’s thesis in the lab, focusing on how gene knockouts can uncover regulators of mitochondrial homeostasis through CRISPR-CAS9 editing.
When I’m not in the lab, you’ll most likely find me watching and reviewing movies!
Tarja Grundstrom Technical Assistant
Alumni
Daan van der Kolk, Master student
Excited about understanding interorganellar signalling under mitochondrial dysfunction and its specific effect on increasing cell fitness.
Daan is an Erasmus exchange student.
Mark C. Cowlishaw, Research Associate
Currently working on manipulation of cells' genetic environmentby sequence- and context-depdendent regulatory networks relating to mitochondrial dysfunction, specifically the mitochondrial ribosome.
Interested in procedures to address ageing-phenotype cell dysfunction.
Mark has received his BA from the University of Cambridge with specialisation in Genetics and soon his MSc from the University of Helsinki.
