Duchen Lab

Today marked my last day at @DuchenLab and @uclbiosciences @ucl. Over the past 4 years, I've had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic individuals and gaining valuable knowledge. Grateful for the experiences that have molded me as a scientist. Eager for what the future holds!

It’s World Mitochondrial Disease Week, and we’re bringing together relevant content across our journals to highlight the importance of this field. Read more from @michael_duchen in our news item, and discover our journal content below. biochemistry.org/about-us/news-…

@Michael_Duchen’s lab, with @RobPitceathly (@UCLIoN) and Claudio Raimondi (@QMULWHRI), has a grant from The British Heart Foundation focused on inter-relations between atypical #strokes, #mitochondrial #DNA mutations & vascular endothelial function. @thebhf @ucl #cardio

🎓🥳 Huge congratulations to Dr. Rob Tidswell on earning his well-deserved PhD degree! 🎉👏 Wishing you continued success as you embark on this exciting new chapter in your career! 🚀

Duchen and Szabadkai labs basking in the summer vibes while taking a well-deserved day off in beautiful London! ☀️🌸

Wrapping up an engaging couple of days with a presentation by our final year PhD student @GabboV introducing his latest data on #mtDNA point mutations in human iPSC derived myofibers #iPSC #mitochondria Now on to the wine to celebrate🍷

Great talk by @ChiHaoyu on his #PhD project modelling Down syndrome associated Alzheimer’s Disease using patient derived NPCs #mitochondria #iPSCs @uclcdb

Our PhD student @ChackoAnitta opening today’s Postgraduate Research Symposium @uclcdb presenting her work on “Investigating the impact of mtDNA point mutations using patient fibroblasts and hiPSC derived neuronal models”

UCL has got quite the fantastic representation in this funny group photo at #EuroMit2023 😄 #TeamUCL @DuchenLab @uclbiosciences @LondonMito @ucl

Inspiring talk from @DuchenLab in #keynote seminars @IPMC_sophia @cnrs

Thank you to everyone who attended our @uclcdb social yesterday and made it a great one! Here are some pictures of the event @DuchenLab & @SzabadkaiLab

Congratulations @ChackoAnitta for this well-deserved recognition!

We are delighted to present The Keilin Memorial Lecture to Professor Michael Duchen in 2024! @michael_duchen’s work currently focuses on the dialogue between cell signalling pathways in mitochondria, and the roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in disease.

Thanks for the invite @MitOtalks, really looking forward to it! @LondonMito @MRCMitoCluster @UCL_QS_CNMD @UCLIoN @ICGNMD

Our #BogueFellowship recipient, @GabboV, had an unforgettable experience taking part in an exchange at @Harvard. Read more about his experiences here. ucl.ac.uk/lifesciences-f…

Really excited to have been awarded the Bogue fellowship allowing me to spend 3months in @DrWilliamHwang ’s lab at Harvard. The Bogue fellowship generously funds PhD students/post docs to travel to the US for research or courses. @SzabadkaiLab @UmberCheema @michael_duchen

Fantastic to be joined by #mito researchers from across @ucl to celebrate word mitochondrial disease week. #WMDW #lightupformito @UCLBrainScience @DuchenLab @UCLchildhealth @4Lilyfoundation ucl.ac.uk/ion/news/2022/…

It’s over 34 years since the first cause of mitochondrial myopathy was identified @LondonMito by Holt, Morgan-Hughes, and the late Prof Anita Harding. Since then 100s of causes have been identified but we still lack a cure. #mitoawarenessweek #WMDW @4Lilyfoundation @MitoAware
