Mitchell Laboratory
Phosphoinositide Signalling and Disease
Welcome to the Mitchell Lab
The aim of our laboratory is to characterise enzymes that regulate phosphoinositide signalling and are central to embryonic development and the prevention of human disease.
We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, a member of the Cancer program,
and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Our research
Phosphoinositides are minor but potent membrane-associated signalling lipids. Our research focuses on the enzymes that control phosphoinositide generation and turnover including their fundamental roles in cell biology and human disease. We have a particular interest in phosphoinositide phosphatase enzymes, with genetic mutations associated with rare congenital developmental syndromes and severe disorders such as cancer, metabolic and neurological conditions. These enzymes therefore present potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers to assist in the prevention of serious human disease.
