“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:
- Describe the clinical variability and heterogeneous genetic causes of mitochondrial diseases.
- Define principal mechanisms underpinning cell-type-specific mitochondrial vulnerability in different organs and cell types in cellular and zebrafish models.
- Highlight some relevant molecular pathways which we target to develop treatments for mitochondrial disease.
