“Modelling mitochondrial disease to develop treatments”

Rita Horvath, MD, PhD, Clinician Scientist, Rare Neurogenetic Disorders, Professor, Neurogenetics, Department of Clinical, Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Honorary Consultant Neurologist, Addenbrooke Hospital

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Describe the clinical variability and heterogeneous genetic causes of mitochondrial diseases.
