Research Summary
Understanding mitochondria and their regulation by calcium signaling and organelle contacts.
Research Statement
The Sancak Lab is interested in mitochondria, organelles that play central roles in metabolism, calcium signaling, innate immunity and cell death. Our main focus is understanding how these diverse mitochondrial functions are regulated to answer cellular needs, particularly by calcium signaling. We use cultured cells and animal models to study the function of mitochondrial calcium uptake in these processes.
