Biography

Liron Boyman is a group leader at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford. He has established a research program focused on the molecular physiology of mitochondria, which are vital for energy production in cells and play critical roles in various diseases such as heart diseases and neurodegeneration. Boyman's lab employs cutting-edge biophysical techniques and high-resolution imaging to study mitochondrial ion channels and signaling pathways under conditions that closely resemble living organisms. His work is essential for understanding the physiological and pathophysiological roles of mitochondria, contributing to the development of novel treatment strategies targeting mitochondrial processes. Liron has a strong scientific background in cardiac cell research, given that cardiomyocytes rely predominantly on mitochondria for energy. His expertise in this area has led to significant discoveries in localized sub-cellular signaling systems that regulate mitochondrial ATP production in the heart. In 2024, he was awarded the British Heart Foundation Intermediate Fellowship.
