Nocturnin-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation

A scientific poster presenting my original research at the 2026 meeting of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR), built so a passerby gets the story from the figures alone.

The message in one line

Overexpressing the mitochondrial form of the clock-controlled enzyme Nocturnin, but not its cytosolic form or a catalytically dead version, fragments mitochondria and shifts fission, fusion, and mitophagy gene expression, linking circadian NADP(H) metabolism to mitochondrial health.
