Mitochondrial physiology and pathology
The annual Spring Symposium of the NVBMB will be on Wednesday March 31st, as an online event
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mitochondrial physiology and pathology. In total, nine invited speakers will present their work. The lectures will discuss subjects ranging from the molecular to the clinical level. Examples include the biogenesis of the protein supercomplexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, the assessment of mitochondrial bioenergetics at the single-cell level, the use of cellular and mouse models to investigate mitochondrial (dys)function in the context of aging and various pathologies, the clinical aspects of mitochondrial DNA mutations and the use of stem cell-based therapies to combat mitochondrial disease.
In addition, the winners of the H.G.K. Westenbrink prize 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 will give lectures about their research:
Liqin Wang (NKI): "A one-two punch model for cancer therapy"
João Medeiros Silva (UU): "Towards the physiologically relevant state with solid-state NMR"
Registration for the symposium is closed.
The NVBMB General Assembly will take place during the lunch break.
