BCBP Seminar: Antentor Hinton, PhD (Vanderbilt University)

Speaker: Antentor Hinton, Jr., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics

Talk title:

“3D Reconstruction from Human Heart Failure Shows Mitochondrial Structure Associations with CHCHD3 and CHCHD6 expression”

Host: Saskia Neher PhD

Dr. Hinton has a B. S. in Biology from Winston Salem State University and a Ph.D. in Integrative Molecular Biology from the Baylor College of Medicine. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at Vanderbilt University.  Dr. Hinton’s research 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.
