Mitochondrial Medicine 2018 Hinxton UK
 Hinxton, Cambridge UK, 2018 May 09-11. Mitochondrial Medicine conference |
Wellcome Genome Campus (2018-05-09) MitoGlobal
Abstract: Mitochondrial Medicine conference, Hinxton, United Kingdom, 2018
General information
- The year’s meeting aims to bridge the gap between our current understanding of the mechanisms and processes that go awry in mitochondrial disease and the novel approaches being developed to treat them. We will also include sessions on clinical trial design and cohorts that are trial ready. In addition, there will be a late-breaking session focusing on new clinical intervention studies.
- This conference will bring together leaders in the field of translational mitochondrial medicine, with a programme designed to engage and inspire the next generation of mitochondrial researchers. The meeting attracts international participants interested in mitochondrial diseases, working in molecular genetics, biochemistry, pathology, and clinical medicine
