Lydia Finley

Lydia is interested in understanding how lysine acetylation affects mitochondrial function. To do this, she is using SIRT3 KO mice under a variety of nutritional and metabolic stresses in order to identify mitochondrial proteins and pathways that are regulated by reversible acetylation as well as the pathological implications of dysregulation of mitochondrial acetylation.

Lydia is in the BBS program at HMS and is supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
