Molecular Physiology & Biophysics

Antentor O Hinton, Jr., Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics

The Hinton Lab utilizes SBF-SEM and FIB-SEM to investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate molecule transfer and morphology changes between the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum and how these mechanisms are altered during pathophysiological states diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
