The Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health invites you to this one day meeting – ideal for researchers with an interest in mitochondria from academia and pharma. It will include a range of short talks and posters on cancer metabolism, neuroscience, diabetes, mitochondrial disorders and general mitochondrial biology. We are normally full and this year our famous Indian wraps and fancy cakes will again be on offer at lunch time.
The deadline for abstracts for short talks and posters is the 1st April with registration if places available. Registration is open until the 21st April. Abstracts should be emailed to: Jamie.strong@wrh.ox.ac.uk Please be aware it is highly likely we will be full before the closing date.
The cost is £35 for researchers and £20 for students and retired individuals. Lunch and refreshments are included.
