Research Overview
Mutations in the gene encoding HACD1 – a muscle specific enzyme for fatty acid biosynthesis - cause autosomal recessive congenital myopathies in humans, dogs and mice. My research aims to elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms of these myopathies and discover the functions of HACD
enzymes and lipids in muscle. I welcome applications from prospective PhD students and postdoctoral fellows.
