Symposium - Lisbon, Portugal
Early studies of mitochondria focused on their bioenergetic role, but we now appreciate the importance of these organelles in a wide range of cellular functions and signalling events. The development of animal models, systems-based approaches and dynamic imaging techniques are proving critical in unravelling the significance and complexity of mitochondrial behaviour.
This symposium will capitalize on the growing excitement about the diversity of mitochondrial functions and will include the following topics: mitochondrial dynamics and interactions with other organelles; signaling at mitochondria; diseases arising from mitochondrial dysfunction; mitophagy and mitochondrial quality control; and metabolism and bioenergetics. With this range of topics, which examines mitochondria from a cell biology, mechanistic, and disease perspective, we aim to bring together biologists from various disciplines, facilitating a wide-ranging discussion of emerging themes in mitochondrial biology.
