I study how mutations in mitochondrial genes lead to human genetic disorders. In 2016, Dr. Tamar Harel and I discovered that mutations in ATAD3A cause a group of rare neurological syndromes. Since then, my laboratory has focused on uncovering how ATAD3A mutations disrupt cellular homeostasis and identifying potential therapeutic strategies. I have also been actively supporting affected families through the ATAD3A Parent Support Group on Facebook since 2018.
