2019 NHLBI Mitochondrial Biology Symposium on Mitochondrial Networks and Energetics

September 26 - 27 , 2019
NIH Campus - William H. Hatcher Conference Center (Bldg 45)

Description

On September 26-27, 2019, experts from around the world gathered on the NIH Campus in Bethesda, Maryland to review advances in our understanding of how mitochondrial structure, function, and interactions within the cell contribute to diseases and aging; and to highlight recent progress made with animal models and therapeutic interventions.

The Keynote Speaker was Vamsi K. Mootha, M.D., a Professor of Systems Biology and Medicine at Harvard Medical School, an Investigator in the Department of Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a member of the Broad Institute.

The NHLBI Mitochondrial Biology Symposium accepted abstract submissions. Posters for abstracts selected by the Organizing Committee were displayed at the event, where colleagues and leaders in the fields of mitochondrial networks and energetics attended. Four abstracts were chosen by the Organizing Committee for short talks. Investigators at all career stages were encouraged to submit abstracts.
