Naviaux Lab was founded in 1994 and is focused on mitochondrial disease and "cell danger and healing with implications for over half of all complex chronic disease from Autism to Alzheimer’s."

Their research include Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Major and Bipolar Depression, and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis."

mitochondria Important parts of the biological cell, with each mitochondrion encased within a mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria are best known for their role in energy production, earning them the nickname "the powerhouse of the cell". Mitochondria also participate in the detection of threats and the response to these threats. One of the responses to threats orchestrated by mitochondria is apoptosis, a cell suicide program used by cells when the threat can not be eliminated.
