Assistant Professor
Research Description


Research in the Lewis laboratory focuses on mitochondria, the dynamic, double membrane bound organelle that is essential for oxidative phosphorylation. Specifically, our area of study is mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) synthesis and distribution within human cells. Mitochondria maintain their own multi-copy genome independent of the nucleus; the goals of my work are to understand how mtDNA copy number is regulated within and across cell cycles, and how the disruption of these pathways impinges on mtDNA integrity, cellular metabolism, and ultimately human health. Using...

Assistant Adjunct Professor
About Veerle Rottiers

Dr. Rottiers recieved her PhD from Ghent University working on C. elegans hormonal regulation in the lab of Adam Antebi. She did her postdoctoral work at MGH Cancer Center/Harvard Medical School in Boston studying conserved regulation of lipid homeostasis.
In 2013, Dr. Rottiers moved to the Molecular Biology and Genetics Department at Cornell as an independant researcher where she secured funding from the American Heart Association as well as the National Institute on aging (NIA/NIH) for her work on metabolism and aging in C. elegans .
She joined the...
