Description

Abstract
The development of compounds with mitochondrial-targeted activity has a huge potential to overcome the cellular deficiencies present in different pathological situations. Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in many human diseases and is a big player in the adverse effects of chemicals, and thus the characterization of mitochondrial dysfunction is important for adequate diagnostics and treatment of several human health conditions. Mitochondrial-targeted therapies are being developed to treat different types of diseases, although NO VALIDATED METHODS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED for the systematic screening and characterization of mitochondria-directed compounds. In this project, we will develop innovative in vitro laboratorial and computational screening methods to assess mitochondrial health, using state-of-the-art equipment available at the UC Biotech (CNC) for high-throughput and high-content analysis of mitochondrial health biomarkers, bioenergetics, mtDNA copy number and mitochondria-related gene expression. Analysis of multidimensional data profiles generated will be performed by computational analysis at CISUC (UC).
