How does organelle function and interplay contribute to the cellular and systemic physiology? Research in my lab focuses on organelle networks and their impact on nutrient signalling pathways and metabolic homeostasis. By exploring novel techniques and approaches, we seek to understand how organelle networks, and the peroxisome in particular, contribute to nutrient signalling pathways. We study how peroxisomal metabolism defines the properties of cell membranes, how peroxisomal metabolites signal in the diet-microbiota-gut-brain-axis and how they influence mitochondrial activity.
