Over the past decade mitochondrial function and dysfunction have turned out to be so central to biomedical questions that we are no longer surprised to read papers where mitochondria are involved in pathways as diverse as innate immunity, oxygen sensing and response to viral infections. Consequently we want to know more about how mitochondria function and go wrong in vivo. Furthermore, as mitochondria are cropping up in so many human pathologies there is a growing interest in developing therapies focussed on preventing mitochondrial damage. In both these areas the development of biological chemistry approaches is a clear way to both develop new probes of mitochondrial function in vivo and in coming up with new therapies. Here, Prof. Mike Murphy will survey approaches that have been used to date and suggest possible ways forward for the emerging field of the biological chemistry of the mitochondrion.

The talk will be offered both in-person and online. Registration is required only for online participation. For online attendance, registration is open until November 27, 2024. The lecture will be held in English.

The registration is closed.
