Chemistry is everywhere and it helps us to understand the world around us. From materials, over biological processes to energy conversion. New breakthroughs in chemical research can have an impact on how we see the wold in the fundamental or derive new application for our everyday lives. In this podcast I talk to scientists and about their innovations in chemistry and the reactions behind them.

Mitochondrial Biogenesis - How mitochondria get their spare parts
In this episode of Innovate and React we look at the interface between biology and chemistry. Alexandra, a biochemist studying mitochondrial biogenesis, shares her journey from moving to Germany, and ultimately diving into biochemistry. The conversation delves into the complex processes of mitochondrial function, including their role in energy production, calcium signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Alexandra discusses her current research on the ER SURF pathway and its implications for understanding protein transport, which could potentially lead to breakthroughs in treating diseases like cancer and Parkinson's. The episode emphasizes the interconnectedness of chemistry and biology and the importance of fundamental research in advancing scientific knowledge.
