Roles

Research Interest The Sedensky laboratory is using two model systems to understand multiple ramifications of mitochondrial dysfunction. Lifespan and neurodegeneration are two areas under active investigation. A long standing focus is understanding how mitochondrial function controls behavior in the volatile anesthetics. Selected publications Falk MJ, Kayser EB, Morgan PG, Sedensky MM. (2006). Mitochondrial complex I function […]
