Gustavo Barja - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Gustavo Barja is affiliated with the Department of Genetics, Physiology, and Microbiology at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in Spain. He is a well-established researcher in the field of genetics, particularly focusing on mitochondrial function, aging, and longevity.

Research Contributions

Gustavo Barja has made significant contributions to the understanding of mitochondrial function and its relation to aging and longevity. His recent studies include the ablation of Elovl2 and its impact on mitochondrial membrane fatty acid remodeling and efficiency, as well as the correlation between DNA repair in mitochondria and longevity across species. His work also explores the role of various mitochondrial subunits, such as NDUFV2, in animal longevity and the relationship between mitochondrial ROS production and aging.

Aliases

Gustavo Barja is also known by the aliases G Barja and G. Barja.
