The Strategic Role of Chemistry to Target Mitochondria will be discussed by Dr Richard Hartley
Mitochondria are central to the healthy functioning of the cell, both in terms of metabolism and signaling, but also play a key role in the process of apoptosis.
Consequently, mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to a wide range of human pathologies including stroke, neurodegeneration, diabetes and cancer, making the mitochondrion an important therapeutic target.
Dr Richard C. Hartley, from WestCHEM School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow will present the strategic role of chemistry to target mitochondria by "Magic Molecules" during the 3rd World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria, which will be held in Berlin, on November 8-9. The advantages of the chemical biological approach will be discussed.
Dr Hartley will also underline the MitoB Advantages, as a probe for assessing oxidative stress.
