Lecture title: Peering into the mitochondria to reveal cellular stress and disease - Front Row lecture with Danielle Grotjahn, PhD Description: The mitochondria are well known for being cellular “powerhouses,” given their important role in energy generation. Yet, emerging research is now suggesting these organelles also play a key role as the stress-sensors for the cell. In this free Front Row lecture, Scripps Research assistant professor Danielle Grotjahn will explore how mitochondria change shape in response to different genetic and environmental stressors. By harnessing cutting-edge imaging technologies to examine mitochondria in these never-before-seen-ways, Grotjahn is revealing how these organelles can predict overall cellular health and even disease, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. ABOUT SCRIPPS RESEARCH Scripps Research is an independent, nonprofit biomedical institute based in La Jolla, California, and ranked one of the most influential in the world for its impact on innovation. The Front Row lecture series, now in its seventh season, offers an exclusive glimpse into groundbreaking scientific discoveries in action. In 2024 we celebrate a century of turning vision into pioneering impact. Reserve your seat today and learn how our scientists remain at the forefront of advancing the future of science and medicine. We hope you’ll join us—in the front row—for the next century of Science Changing Life.
