Mitochondrial research has exploded over the last ~150 years. This book gives an amazing view on a conceptual change in our understanding of mitochondrial biology. It becomes clear that mitochondria are extremely dynamic in nature, controlling life at multiple levels. Mitochondria rule energy conversion, adapt cells well to changing stress and nutrient conditions, and regulate many cellular... Read more

Biography

Andreas S. Reichert has been a Professor and Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany since 2014. He’s been a board member of the Biologisch-Medizinisches Forschungszentrum (BMFZ) at Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany since 2016, and a speaker of BMFZ since 2021. Dr. Reichert received his Ph.D. under Prof. Dr. Svante Pääbo at the Institute of Zoology, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany in 1999, and was a Post-Doc under Prof. Dr. Svante Pääbo and Prof. Dr. Mario Mörl at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany from 1999-2000. As the Executive Director of the Center for Membrane Proteomics (CMP) at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, from 2012-2014, Dr. Reichert simultaneously operated as a professor and Head of Mitochondrial Biology at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
