Dr. Ed Chouchani was recently promoted to Professor of Cell Biology (HMS) and Professor of Cancer Biology (DFCI). Ed joined the Department of Cell Biology in 2017  His lab focuses on deciphering molecular mechanisms that drive metabolic disease, and using this information to develop targeted therapeutic strategies.  Mitochondria are critical hubs for metabolic signaling, and their dysfunction is key in the pathology of metabolic disease.  The Chouchani Lab combines mass spectrometry and targeted pharmacological approaches in vivo to understand how mitochondrial redox metabolism controls physiology in clinically informative mouse models of obesity and diabetes.

Congratulations to Ed!  Everyone in the department is very proud.
