We are accepting students!
Prospective graduate students should apply to the graduate program in Molecular Medicine, Pharmacology, and Physiology at Yale. Once you have been admitted, please feel free to contact Rachel to discuss a potential rotation. There’s no utility in contacting Rachel before you are admitted; it won’t have any bearing on the admissions decision.
Current graduate students are encouraged to contact Rachel to discuss a potential rotation in the Perry lab. In addition, please consider taking the metabolism course offered annually in the winter semester, now in its second year. If you are a postdoc, staff member, or other Yale affiliate, you are welcome to audit the course; please contact Rachel to discuss this. Scholars from other universities may also be able to audit the class.
CMP 580b (spring): Mitochondrial Bioenergetics and Intermediary Metabolism Instructors: Rachel Perry, Ph.D., Richard Kibbey, M.D., Ph.D.
This course presents a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of mitochondrial physiology and pathophysiology. Topics include glucose, lipid, amino acid, and cholesterol metabolism; mitochondrial bioenergetics; flux modeling; inherited and acquired metabolic disorders; and common methods used to characterize metabolism. Our goal is for students not only to be able to explain the key pathways involved in maintenance of glucose and lipid homeostasis, but also to be able to select and critically evaluate techniques commonly used in metabolism, design experiments, and interpret others’ results.
