Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joanna L. Fiddler investigates the role of mitochondria in cellular function and disease. Her research has explored how deficiencies in specific enzymes, such as those involved in folate metabolism (e.g., SHMT2, methionine synthase), impact mitochondrial respiration and lead to uracil accumulation in mitochondrial DNA. Fiddler's work also examines the effects of environmental factors and substances on cellular health, including the cardiac toxicity induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors through mitochondrial and sarcomere dysfunction. Additionally, her research has touched upon nutritional interventions, such as zinc supplementation and vitamin B12 and folic acid status, and their influence on cellular processes and genetic material. Fiddler has published 32 papers with 122 citations and an h-index of 7. She has collaborated with Abigail L. Zirbel and Makenzie A. Tharpe at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
