Linking molecular processes within mitochondria with the human experience

Energy is the force that brings the genomic, molecular, and cellular hardware of the brain-body system to life. Energy flow regulates brain activity and gives rise to the human experience. It sustains health and underlies our ability to heal, adapt, and thrive in the face of challenges. To deliver true health care and help each of us achieve our full health potential, we need approaches informed by energetic principles.

Together with our collaborators and partners, we conduct Mitochondrial Psychobiology translational studies grounded in the best of mitochondrial science, inspired by the human experience, and connected to health-relevant questions. We design and deploy mitochondrial phenotyping tools and mitochondria-related biomarkers to map inter-individual variation in mitochondrial biology and diversity, to understand mitochondrial plasticity over time, and to map their role in the ​maintenance of human health and aging. 

We also deploy our tools to understand the energetic dimension linked to altered states of consciousness and how this contributes to
the restorative effects of sleep, the healing effects of carefully-administered psychedelics, and the placebo effect.

Our goal is to discover energetic principles of health and brain-body communication. We can then use this knowledge to build an integrative model of human health and healing, and energy-based technologies to promote the healing process.
