MitoCom Lectures: Introduction to mitochondrial respiratory physiology - Innsbruck, November 2011

An informal series of lectures will be held in November 2011 in the OROBOROS Office, Schöpfstr. 18, Innsbruck, as an introduction to mitochondrial respiratory physiology. The specific topics will be used primarily to explain the general underlying concepts. Lectures will be complemented by group discussions of relevant literature and experimental progress.
