Mitochondria: Beyond Powerhouse of the Cell:

The conference explores mitochondria's diverse roles beyond energy production, including:

• Signaling and communication within and between cells

• Maintaining cellular balance (homeostasis)

• Contributing to metabolism, stress responses, and inflammation

• Potential involvement in various diseases

Themes:

• Mitochondrial biochemistry and function

• Quality control and responses to stress

• Metabolic roles

• Communication mechanisms

• Connection to inflammation and disease

• Tools for studying and targeting mitochondria
