Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joanna Fiddler's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction and its impact on cellular processes. Her work has focused on the role of folate metabolism in mitochondrial health, examining how deficiencies in enzymes like SHMT2 affect mitochondrial respiration, uracil accumulation in mitochondrial DNA, and overall cellular energy production. Fiddler has also explored the effects of specific nutrients, such as vitamin B12 and folic acid, on mitochondrial heteroplasmy in animal models. Further research has examined the link between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cardiac toxicity, identifying mitochondrial and sarcomere dysfunction as key contributors. Her studies have employed various model organisms, including mice and rats, and have utilized techniques to assess cellular metabolism and gene expression in response to dietary deficiencies and pharmacological agents. Fiddler has published 32 papers, with an h-index of 6 and 116 total citations, and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
