Dr. Evandro F. Fang established his independent laboratory at The University of Oslo, Norway investigating the molecular mechanisms of one of the most fundamental and fascinating topics in current biology: human ageing. His laboratory (evandrofanglab.com) is focusing on the molecular mechanisms of how cells clear their damaged and aged mitochondria, a process termed “mitophagy”, as well as the roles of mitophagy in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
