 Learning Objectives

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

Please note that OHRI seminars are open to all members of OHRI and partner institutions. Members of the general public are asked to contact the communications office (jganton@ohri.ca) for more information about the research presented at OHRI seminars.
