Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joanna Fiddler's research investigates the role of mitochondria in cellular metabolism and the impact of nutrient deficiencies and pharmacological agents on mitochondrial function. Her work has explored how reduced expression of enzymes like SHMT2 (serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2) affects mitochondrial folate accumulation, respiration, and leads to uracil accumulation in mitochondrial DNA, as observed in mouse models. Fiddler has also examined the influence of vitamin B12 status and folic acid supplementation on mitochondrial heteroplasmy levels in mice. Her research extends to the cardiac effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), identifying mitochondrial and sarcomere dysfunction as mechanisms of SSRI-induced cardiotoxicity. Additionally, her investigations include the metabolic responses of C2C12 myoblast cells to iron depletion and the evaluation of reference genes for gene expression analysis in animal models of dietary deficiencies. Fiddler's publication record includes studies on ferritin measurement in whole blood and the energy metabolism of myoblasts under varying substrate availability.
