Etienne Meyer

Dr. Etienne Meyer is a researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Department of Plant Physiology. His work focuses on the composition, function, and regulation of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system in plant mitochondria, particularly Complex I, which is critical for energy production.

Research Interests:
The OXPHOS system in plants, including Complex I with its plant-specific subunits and alternative electron transport routes, remains a central theme. His studies explore mitochondrial-nuclear genome interactions, assembly cofactors, and the regulatory role of Complex I in respiratory fluxes using bioinformatics, reverse genetics, and systems biology approaches.

Publication Trends:
Recent articles (2025–2021) emphasize mitochondrial proteostasis, complex assembly mechanisms, and the evolutionary conservation of energy metabolism proteins. Key subfields include plant-specific OXPHOS adaptations, genome editing applications, and stress response dynamics in respiratory pathways.

Projects:
Currently leads research on "Control of complex I proteostasis in plants," funded by institutional grants. Collaborations span plant genetics, bioinformatics, and structural biology, with publications in journals like Nature Plants, Plant Journal, and Current Biology.
