Mitochondrial Physiology
- from Organelle to Organism

21-25 August 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the Mitochondrial Physiology – From Organelle to Organism Course in Copenhagen. The focus of the course is to combine state-of-art lectures with hands-on analyses of aspects of mitochondrial function using different techniques. The lectures will be focusing on different aspects of aging and mitochondrial function.

We will present you with several choices of mitochondrial analyses that you can consider in your own research. For example, respirometry and fluorometry of muscle and adipose tissue by the Oroboros instrument.

We do not pretend to provide you with a full training course in these techniques, but you will by the end of the week have gained a better understanding of the limitations, pit-falls and advantages of many of the currently available techniques to study mitochondrial physiology. An important part of the course is to present your own research interest to the other participants by means of poster presentations, which will facilitate scientific discussions and enlarge your “mitochondrial network”.

 

The Mitochondrial Physiological PhD course will take place at the Mærsk tower.

The Mærsk tower is an extension of the Panum Institute, which is part of the University of Copenhagen. It is situated a few kilometers from the center of Copenhagen and can easily be reached by public transport.

Address: Blegdamsvej 3B, 2200 Copenhagen N
See map of the Panum Institute and the Mærsk Tower

  • Workshops (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning)
