OverviewAI-generated summary
Shilpa Iyer's research focuses on mitochondrial function and its role in human diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders. She investigates how mitochondrial gene therapy can improve cellular respiration, biogenesis, and transcription in cells affected by conditions like Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy and Leigh syndrome. Her work also extends to quantifying mitochondrial dynamics in patient fibroblasts with developmental defects and mitochondrial disorders.
Dr. Iyer is currently serving as Principal Investigator on a $606,257 NIH/Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development grant. This project investigates the metabolic regulation of Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) in pediatric mitochondrial disorders. Her scholarly network includes frequent collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Raj R. Rao, Fibi Meshrkey, Bibhuti Ballav Saikia, and Joshua Stabach, with whom she has co-authored numerous publications.
Her previous research has explored topics such as telomere function in yeast and the role of specific genes in mitochondrial health. She has published on recombinant mitochondrial transcription factor A and its impact on cellular respiration and gene expression, as well as the implications of short telomeres in yeast recombination.
