The Molecular Anatomy of Mitochondrial Disease: Identification and Characterisation of Novel Nuclear-Encoded Mitochondrial Disease Genes
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders typically associated with abnormal oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). In recent years, next generation sequencing technologies have allowed for accurate genetic diagnoses of inherited mitochondrial diseases …

Computer modelling of metabolic adaptions during mitochondrial dysfunction and machine learning to predict novel mitochondrial disease genes
… This thesis investigates two main causes of mitochondrial dysfunction: mitochondrial toxicity arising from side-effects of drugs; and mitochondrial diseases arising from defects in nuclear-encoded genes. Novel chemical entities being developed as drug leads are screened for cellular toxicity …

Comparative phylogenetic exploration of the human mitochondrial proteome: Insights into disease and metabolism
… from ATP synthesis to apoptosis. Changes in mitochondrial function are associated with many diseases, as well as ‘natural’ processes like ageing. Mitochondria have a unique evolutionary origin, as the result of an endosymbiotic relationship between a bacterium and an archaeal cell. Therefore, …
