About<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vamsi Mootha is a researcher at Howard Hughes Medical Institute<\/a> and a Professor of Systems Biology and Medicine at Harvard Medical School<\/a>. His lab is located in the Department of Molecular Biology of Massachusetts General Hospital<\/a> and the Center for Genome Medicine<\/a>. Drs. Mootha is the leader of a research team on mitochondrial biology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drs. Mootha graduated from Stanford University<\/a> with a B.S.<\/a> (with honors and honors) in Mathematical and Computational Science. He went on to receive M.D.<\/a> where his research thesis focused on mitochondrial energy<\/a>. After internships and internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital<\/a>, he moved on to Whitehead Institute<\/a> to do postdoctoral studies in genomics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n His research team consists of biologists, computer scientists, and doctors who collaborated to study mitochondrial bioenergetics<\/a> in health and disease. His research has led to the complete identification of the mitochondrial proteome<\/a>, the identification of hundreds of genetic mutations<\/a>, and the identification of all components of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter<\/a>. He and his colleagues’ integration tools are now commonly used in biomedical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drs. Mootha has won several awards, including the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship<\/a>, the American Philosophical Society’s Judson Daland Prize<\/a>, the Biochemical Society’s Kellin<\/a> Medal, the Padma Shri<\/a> from the Government of India, and the nomination for the National Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vamsi Mootha at Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vamsi Mootha<\/strong> at Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
