OROBOROS (2016-07-07) MitoGlobal

Abstract: 2016 Jul 07-13, Kuehtai, AT. The project MitoFit aims at developing novel laboratory standards and diagnostic monitoring of a mitochondrial fitness score. With an international team of outstanding mitochondrial experts, the MitoFit Training Camp will provide a unique opportunity to receive first-hand introductions to state-of-the-art diagnostic monitoring of mitochondrial respiratory function. Diverse areas are covered such as protective medicine, exercise physiology, mitochondrial pharmacology, aging, and comparative mitochondrial physiology (cell types, tissues, species).

MitoFit Training Camp - for and with mitochondrial scientists

Date: 2016, July 07-13

Venue: High Altitude Training Center Kühtai, Kuehtai (Tyrol, Austria), 2020 m a.s.l. (42 min from Innsbruck).

Maxiumum 77 participants.

Immediately following EBEC2016 (July 2-7) organized by Paolo Bernardi in Riva del Garda (2.5 hours from Innsbruck).

Preliminary programme

• Introductory lectures

» Thermodynamics of core energy metabolism: chemical and electrical fluxes and forces - how textbook errors generate noise instead of information.

» Diagnostic assays of mitochondrial fitness.

» A quality control system for mitochondrial respirometry.

» Towards a knowledge management platform for mitochondrial physiology - feeding the database.

» Normalization and harmonization of data sets in mitochondrial physiology.

» The MitoFit proficiency test.

• Round tables

» Does bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology need a consistent nomenclature to become MitoFit?

» Towards a database on mt-respiratory physiology: from laboratory standards to inter-laboratory harmonization.

• Key note presentations - cutting edge MitoFit perspectives

» Invited lectures

• Working groups: preparation of point-counterpoint plenary discussions.
• Sign in as a subject: ergometric tests and MitoFit score of blood cells (limited number of participants).
• MitoFit: expertise by experience - high altitude sports and physiotherapy in the Kuethai environment (walks&talks and more)
