Congratulations to Dr. Sunayana Dagar for discovering mitochondrial translational defects in Huntington disease, published in Molecular Cellular Proteomics.

Postdoctoral fellow Dr. Sunayana Dagar's research has uncovered novel pathways of mitochondrial translational defects in Huntington's disease. She employed high-resolution ribosome sequencing tools to quantify aberrant ribosome accumulation on mitochondria-encoded transcripts and utilized advanced mass spectrometry to analyze mitochondrial proteomics, thereby obtaining a snapshot of translational products that unveiled novel mitochondrial targets in HD.
