Why a Mitochondrial Course?

Mitochondrial function and dysfunction have been shown to be related to the onset on many diseases including Alzheimer, diabetes and cancer among others.

Mitochondria are true integrators of cell signaling metabolism and aging

Mitochondria control life, lifespan and death.

THERE IS A SCIENTIFIC NEED TO TRAIN NEW PEOPLE IN MITOCHONDRIAL SCIENCE TO AFFORD THE UPCOMING CHALLENGES

IN BIOMEDICINE

Some of the best Worldwide Mitochondrial

The Course Program(under final revision)

Basically, the course will have one day symposium where all the professors will give a 45 min talk. This will be held in Santiago and will be open to everyone.

Right after all the staff and participant students will ride a bus to CIMARQ, Valparaiso. Students will be train on Seahorse Technology and Microscopy and will work for full 3 day on his own project.

Students will benefit from a full, 24/7 interaction with professors and staff. They will have the chance to discuss their current
