Measuring Mitochondrial Dynamics and Biogenesis in Different Models

#MitochonriaUnlocked is a five-part video series from Dr. Tatiana Rosenstock, a neuroscientist at Sygnature Discovery. Across five short episodes, Tatiana shares real-world mitochondrial data and practical guidance to help decision-makers in the CNS disease space understand how, and why, mitochondrial health is becoming central to drug discovery.

Mitochondria constantly move, divide, and adapt all of which can be measured. In Episode 4, Tatiana explores how mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis are assessed across ex vivo and in vivo models. She highlights why these measurements matter, particularly for CNS research, where mitochondrial resilience plays a vital role in disease progression.

About Tatiana

Tatiana Rosenstock has had an exceptional career and has made significant contributions to the field of Neuroscience for 20+ years. Her work has focused on topics such as mitochondrial deregulation, transcription deregulation, and autophagy in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington’s Disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Schizophrenia.  

At Sygnature Discovery, Tatiana is a Principal Scientist overseeing various neuroscience-related projects in different sub-areas such as metabolism (mitochondrial function), biomarkers, microglial function and activation, and neuroplasticity. During this period, she has been working with distinct in-vitro models, named iPSC-derived neurons, primary cortical neurons, Alzheimer`s and Parkinson`s disease fibroblasts, neuroblastomas cell lines, tissue and biofluids from transgenics animal models of Alzheimer`s disease.
