Join us for an immersive week at the Mitochondria Summer School 2025, where leading experts and researchers will explore cutting-edge topics in mitochondrial biology! The summer school program offers an intensive, multi-day learning experience focused on mitochondrial biology, featuring expert-led sessions on a wide range of key topics.
For whom?
The summer school will host 30 PhD students on-site from Finland and across Europe, with courses led by leading experts in the field. The target group includes students in e.g. cell biology, metabolic diseases, neurobiology, fibrotic disorders, cancer, and pharmacology.
There will also be a remote participation option, including talks by experts. However, you will get the most out of the event and a full learning experience by attending on-site!
On-site participants will be selected through a selection process, including a motivation letter. Further details will be announced when registration opens in March. There is a fee for both types of participation.
Key themes include:
- Mitochondrial DNA
- Mitochondrial dynamics
- OXPHOS structure & function
- Mitochondrial diseases & therapeutic approaches
- Mitochondrial stress, signaling & immunity.
