Anders Olav Garlid (username: aogarlid) is working with the Gene Wiki Project to improve Wikipedia articles on proteins and genes in the mitochondrial proteome. The goal is to tackle all of the genes in the mitochondrial proteome and to make scientific information more accessible to the general public and citizen scientists.

Personal information

Anders is a self-described "Mitochondriac" devoted to the exploration of the mysteries of mitochondrial physiology and cellular signaling. He acquired this curiosity during his time as an undergraduate and graduate research assistant in his father Dr. Keith Garlid's lab and continues to pursue questions of ion transport and signaling mechanisms in the heart. Anders' mother, Dr. Randi Brannan, DVM, is a specialist in veterinary dentistry and his younger brother, Torleif Garlid, has a B.Sc. in civil engineering as well as an MBA from the University of Delaware.

Education

Anders Olav Garlid studies mitochondrial physiology and cellular signaling, particularly in the context of ischemic preconditioning against ischemia-reperfusion injury. He majored in biochemistry at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon and was awarded his B.Sc. on March 19, 2011. Anders was awarded his M.Sc. through the Department of Biology at Portland State University for his thesis entitled "Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS): Which ROS is responsible for Cardioprotective Signaling?" on March 22, 2014. His thesis committee included Drs. Jason Podrabsky, Stanley Hillman, and Suzanne Estes. Anders is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Molecular, Cellular & Integrative Physiology program within the Graduate Programs in Bioscience. [1][2]

Publications

During his graduate studies at Portland State University, Anders published as first author in the American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology with his paper entitled "Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS): Which ROS is responsible for Cardioprotective Signaling?" [3] He also collaborated with the lab of Dr. Brian O'Rourke at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine to identify the renal outer medullary potassium channel (ROMK) as a molecular subcomponent of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoKATP).
