Ali Aghvami, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Ali is developing and employing novel approaches to study mitochondrial metabolite transport and metabolic compartmentalization. He received his PhD in physics from Brandeis University. When not working in the lab, he enjoys snowboarding and hiking.
Fiona Fitzpatrick, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Fiona is interested in cofactor metabolism and mitochondrial transport, and how alterations in such processes drive diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders. She worked at the Structural Genomic Consortium at Oxford before completing her doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge.
Katlyn Gabriel
Graduate Student
Katlyn is a graduate student in the BPH program interested in how compartmentalization of metabolism drives cellular proliferation and how these processes are dysregulated in cancer or metabolic disease.
Nico Hahn
Visiting Graduate Student
Nico is a visiting Biochemistry student from Würzburg, Germany. Outside of the lab his hobbies include tennis, skiing, soccer and scuba diving.
Zeina Harhous, PhD
