I am a PhD student in the prostate cancer research group led by Professor Lisa Butler. In my Ph.D, I investigate the role of mitochondrial morphology and dynamics in the progression and proliferation of prostate cancer. It is hoped that this research will begin to shed light on the relationship between mitochondria and prostate cancer disease progression with the aim of better distinguishing those patients with aggressive disease from those with decreased risk and promote the development of novel therapeutic agents specifically targeting metabolism.
