Welcome
Dear Colleague,
It is our pleasure to welcome you to Stockholm Sweden and the seventh European Meeting on Mitochondrial Pathology! This symposium is organized every three-four years in Europe and has brought forward recent advances in the field of mitochondrial research. Since the first Euromit meeting the research field has undergone a remarkable expansion, and mitochondrial dysfunction is today recognized as an important factor in human disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated not only in rare genetic disorders, but also in several common health problems such as diabetes, cancer and neurodegeneration, as well as in the aging process. Even so, there is still much remaining to be discovered, both regarding the normal function of mitochondria, as well as the mechanisms by which they can cause disease.
The meeting is composed of a keynote lecture, plenary sessions, short oral presentations, and poster sessions. Our intention is that this meeting will catalyze and facilitate constructive scientific interactions and collaborations.
We have very high hopes for this meeting, and hope to meet you at the the seventh European Meeting on Mitochondrial Pathology.
Warm Welcome!
