New Frontiers in Mitochondrial Science: Integration into Cell Signaling
March 2 - 5, 2008

The goal of this conference is to bring together leading scientists in both traditional and emerging areas of mitochondrial biology. It is becoming increasingly obvious that although cellular energy production remains a critical feature of mitochondrial function, there are now exciting implications for the mitochondrial network in diverse cellular signaling pathways. Thus this occasion should provide a forum to assess our current understanding of the new opportunities in mitochondrial research.
