DESCRIPTION:Mitochondria are double membrane-bounded organelles that perfo
 rm a myriad of diverse and essential functions in cells. These functions a
 re dependent on the collective intracellular behavior of the organelle. We
  have characterized key features of mitochondrial behaviors. Our work has 
 addressed the physiological functions and mechanisms of mitochondrial divi
 sion and fusion\, which are important determinants of overall mitochondria
 l shape and distribution. We have characterized contact sites that intimat
 ely link mitochondria with the ER and determined their roles in mitochondr
 ial positioning and dynamics. We have also addressed the fundamental quest
 ion of how mitochondrial membranes are sub-compartmentalized to reveal how
  the complex internal architecture of the organelle is generated. Our curr
 ent challenge is to determine how mitochondrial behaviors are integrated w
 ith one another and physiologically regulated within cells and organisms.
