How Mitochondria Inform Disease Discoveries with Navdeep Chandel, PhD
About this episode
Mitochondria are widely known as cellular "powerhouses" for their role in producing energy for cells. But pioneering research from Northwestern Medicine investigators over the last 20 years has proven mitochondria are also major players in lung disease, cancer, brain disease and immune-related diseases. Navdeep Chandel, PhD, a 2023 recipient of the Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, leads this research. In this episode he discusses how his team's recent findings could advance the design and implementation of new therapies.
