 Mark
van der Giezen (m.vandergiezen{at}qmul.ac.uk).
I originally studied
unusual hydrogen-producing mitochondria, called hydrogenosomes, of
anaerobic fungi. This was part of my PhD in the
Netherlands in the group of the late Rudolf Prins and of my
EMBO Fellowship in the
lab of Martin Embley (now at Newcastle)
at the Natural
History
Museum in
London. Subsequently, I worked on mitochondrial remnants
called mitosomes from the human
parasites Entamoeba histolytica
and Giardia
intestinalis in the lab of Jorge Tovar
at Royal
Holloway. Since
Novermber 2004, I am at Queen Mary, to
study mitochondrial remnants in whatever shape or form they appear.

Post-docs:
 Matthew Rogers (matthew.rogers{at}qmul.ac.uk).
I have a broad interest in all endosymbiotic organelles and their metabolic pathways. My PhD work in Patrick Keeling's lab at the University of British Columbia involved the genomics and metabolism of the secondary plastid containing protist Bigelowiella natans. My present work involves the characterization of the mitochondrial metabolism of the anaerobic stramenopile Blastocystis hominis.

PhD-students:
 Karleigh Hamblin
(k.hamblin{at}qmul.ac.uk).
In 2005 I
finished my undergraduate
degree reading biochemistry at Royal Holloway,
University of London. During this time I was funded by the Wellcome
Trust to undertake a
summer project investigating the function of Giardia
mitosomes in Jorge
Tovar's lab. I also carried out my third year
project in this lab. I'm now continuing research into
mitochondrial remnants for my PhD.

 Kerem Teralı (k.terali{at}qmul.ac.uk).
After graduating first in my class at Istanbul Technical University (Turkey) with a BSc degree in Molecular Biology & Genetics in 2005, I moved up to St. Andrews,
Scotland to study MRes Structural Proteomics at the University of St
Andrews, where my fees were funded through a BBSRC Studentship. During
my master's research I had the opportunity to work in the
pharmaceutical industry, specifically in the area of structure-based
drug design, in Vernalis Ltd (Cambridge, England). Now I am doing my PhD here at Queen Mary,
University of London. I started in the fall of 2006 in the lab of
Dr. Mark van der Giezen under the supervision of him, as well as Prof. Richard Pickersgill, and am funded by a Queen Mary, University of London, Research Studentship.
