Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

KiranKumar Adepu's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying disease, with a particular focus on protein function and cellular processes. His work includes studying the destabilization of heme pockets in myoglobin due to mutations, which is relevant to myoglobinopathies. Adepu also examines the interaction of myoglobin with the outer mitochondrial membrane, comparing oxygenated and deoxygenated states to understand its role in cellular bioenergetics. Furthermore, his research explores the effects of lactate supplementation on skeletal muscle cells, specifically its impact on fiber type transition and cellular energy production. Adepu has co-authored two publications with Sree V. Chintapalli at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
