MitoMetabLab is an academic mitochondrial biology research laboratory at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Directed by a Tier II Canada Research Chair and supported by the Banting Research Foundation - Mitacs, and Canada Foundation for Innovation - John Evans Leaders Fund, we are focused on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Our mission is to determine how mitochondrial structure, function, and genetics contribute to physiology and pathology.

Welcome back! Everyone has returned to campus after a pleasant holiday break. Dr. Dunham-Snary will be in the classroom this winter semester for a 6-lecture series on respiratory pathophysiology (PHGY 350) as well as the very popular vascular tone laboratory (LISC 391).
