Mission

Oroboros - as a driving force in mitochondrial physiology - extends the analytical and diagnostic power of high-resolution respirometry by integration of NADH- and Q-redox monitoring in the NextGen-O2k. We aim at establishing the Oroboros quality control management for dissemination to our worldwide O2k-Network laboratories. This will become an effective contribution to address the acute reproducibility crisis of scientific investigation. In the spirit of Open Science and global networking, we will enable data sharing across projects and institutions in an Open Access database on mitochondrial physiology and pathology, to resolve the inflation crisis and ultimately the value-impact crisis of present academic publication. This will support key developments in mitochondrial medicine. In addition, we expand our business to biotechnology and ecology with the photobiology module of the NextGen-O2k, widening our focus from medicine to environment and climate.

Gentle Science

In addition to O2k-Workshops and on-site training, Oroboros will disseminate the not-for-profit initiatives on Mitochondrial Physiology and Bioenergetics Science Camps, specialized Mitochondrial Physiology Conferences, and Preprint publications:

» Oroboros is a key player in support of the COST Action MitoEAGLE

» MitoGlobal - the world-wide platform for societies and organizations supporting mitochondrial research and medicine

» MitoEAGLE with cooperation by Oroboros launched MitoFit Preprint Archives - the preprint server for mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics

» A vision on preprints

» Mitochondrial respiratory states and rates : >530 coauthors join forces towards harmonization on nomenclature

» Gentle Science - recognizes the responsibility of the scientific community - for the quality of science, the quality of life in science, and its mission
