2014 MitoCross Summer School for PhD students

A summer school entitled “Mitochondria: an organelle for lifel” will take place in Strasbourg the 1st and 2nd of July 2014, at the Collège Doctoral Européen.

This summer school is proposed under the joined tutelage of the “Ecole Doctoral des Sciences de la Vie et de la Santé” and of the Strasbourg University; and is organized by Team members of the MitoCross consortium.  It is composed of six laboratories based in Strasbourg-Esplanade and working on various aspects of mitochondrial research, encompassing different models (yeast, plants, human) and different approaches (structural, biophysical, biochemical, functional and biomedical) (http://mitocross.unistra.fr/).   The program of the two days of education will contain conferences from researches from the MitoCross consortium on different aspects around structural and functional features of molecules from mitochondria, but also cross-talk and communication with other cellular compartments, and possible connections with disorders, including human pathologies. Three plenary lectures will be given by renowned invited speakers: A. Rötig (Hopital Necker, France) on "Mitochondrial disorders and translation deficiencies"; J. Hermann (University of Bern) on "Biogenesis of mitochondrial proteins"; and C. Remacle (Université de Liège, Belgium) on "Isocitrate lyase in the microalga Chlamidomonas: localization and role under different growth conditions". Sort talks will also be presented by invited external young researchers and PdD students
