MitoCom Lectures - Innsbruck, November 2011

An informal series of lectures will be held in November 2011 in the OROBOROS Office (Schöpfstr. 18, Innsbruck), as an introduction into mitochondrial respiratory physiology. The lectures will be complemented by group discussions of the latest literature and experimental progress.
