General information

Training course:
The role of Metabolism, Redox Systems and Mitochondria in death and survival

The Training course will take place on Friday September 14 , from 14:00 till 18:30

The aim of the training course is to introduce young scientists into the current concepts, methodologies and tools used in the study of programmed cell death.
Lecturers in this training course will present a 35 minute seminar, followed by a 10 minute discussion. The sessions are intended to provide a general review of the literature, recent techniques and methodologies in cell death research, in combination with the opportunity to discuss afterwards.
