Dr. Marcinek’s research interest focuses on the role of mitochondria in pathologies associated with chronic disease, particularly the application of multiple modalities to understand the toxic effects of domoic acid on cognitive function. His lab is researching the impairment of cellular function to respond to stress and the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism. Marcinek uses a strategy that combines whole animal performance measures, unique imaging and spectroscopy tools, and molecular and biochemical assays to work across multiple levels of organization in both humans and rodent models of disease.

For more information on his research activities please see David Marcinek's page on the Translational Bioenergetics Lab website
