About the lab

The Battersby lab is located at the Institute of Biotechnology, HiLIFE, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.  Our research focus is mitochondrial biology, understanding how gene expression within this organelle integrates with biological circuits required for cellular homeostasis.  Research in the lab runs the gamut from basic mechanisms in cell biology to understanding how human pathologies impair these processes and using that knowledge to develop effective therapies for treatments.  Follow the links to learn more about our ongoing research projects and our talented team.
