David Marcinek, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Radiology Research Affiliate, Center on Human Development and Disability dmarc@uw.edu 206-221-6785 University of Washington Box 358050 Seattle, WA 98195-8050

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.
