MiPschool Obergurgl 2017 ECI Forum

Early Career Investigator (ECI forum)

• Organizers: Timea Komlodia and Luiz Garcia e Souza

“Meet the expert”- Round tables

The participants (ECI) would be divided into small groups (with a maximum of 5 participants) with one group leader (professor or experienced supervisor) per table. This option would give the ECI the opportunity to speak in ::::person in a small group about the pitfalls, problems and questions of their research project. The topic of the groups would be defined based on the interest and expertise of the group leader.

As an ECI, you would have the opportunity to speak about their project in 5 min (without any Powerpoint presentation) and the emphasis should be put on the problem what they have faced during the project related to the topic of the group be beneficial for everyone. The idea behind the ECI-Forum is to provide a platform for new opinions and the exchange of ideas.

So far, you can choose between 7 groups each with one professor. The experts are the following:

1. Anthony Moore: Electron transfer system and its redox changes
2. Werner Koopman: Live-cell bioenergetics: ROS, mitochondrial dynamics and morphology, calcium dynamics
3. Pablo M. Garcia-Roves: Mitochondrial physiology - (skeletal) muscle
4. Richard Porter: Mitochondria and cancer
5. Hong Kyu Lee: Mitochondrial medicine- diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome
6. Erich Gnaiger: Mitochondrial coupling and terminology
7. Pidder Jansen-Duerr: Cellular senescence and mitochondrial aspects of aging

There are 90 min scheduled for this evening session, starting after dinner. We would like to give you the opportunity for exchange with two experts, therefore, depending on the number of ECI participants one rotation will be suggested.
