Research summary
AI-generated

Virginie Lazar conducts biomedical research focused on how cells manage their internal structures, particularly the contact points between mitochondria (the cell's energy producers) and the endoplasmic reticulum (a membrane network involved in protein and lipid processing). A key line of work examines a protein called Eliosin and its role in repairing mitochondrial damage in polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder causing cysts in the kidneys.
