Nick presented his abstract, “Partial Drp1 Ablation in Skeletal Muscle Attenuates Exercise-Induced Mitophagy Activation,” at the Muscle Biology Conference hosted by the University of Florida. His research explored how reduced levels of the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1 affect mitophagy responses to exercise in skeletal muscle. Nick engaged with leading researchers and fellow students, contributing to important conversations in muscle and mitochondria biology.
