Linsey Stiles

Linsey Stiles serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and directs the UCLA Mitochondria and Metabolism Core Facility.

Her academic background includes:

• B.A. in Chemistry from Clark University (2005)
• Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics from Tufts University (2011)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship at Boston University School of Medicine (2011)
• Scientific Director of the Bioenergetics Core Facility at Boston University School of Medicine (2014)

With over 15 years of specialized expertise, Dr. Stiles focuses on mitochondrial bioenergetics, respirometry techniques, ATP production analysis, and advanced imaging of mitochondrial mass and membrane potential. She pioneers novel methodologies for measuring mitochondrial function while leading a core facility that provides critical technical and conceptual resources to academic and industry researchers globally. Her work bridges fundamental mitochondrial research with practical applications in metabolic disease studies.

As Scientific Director since 2016, she oversees operations of the Mitochondria and Metabolism Core, which specializes in high-precision bioenergetic assessments including Seahorse respirometry and fluorescence-based membrane potential imaging. The facility supports diverse research initiatives through standardized protocols and custom experimental design consultation.
