Using live imaging to investigate the causes and consequences of mitochondrial toxicity in the kidney
Dr Andrew Hall from University of Zurich, Switzerland will participate to the congresss and talk about "Using live imaging to investigate the causes and consequences of mitochondrial toxicity in the kidney" during the 9th World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria 2018 which will be held in Berlin next October 23-25.
Dr. Andrew Hall summarized their team's research on Mitochonddria as: "Mitochondrial toxicity from therapeutic drugs is a common cause of acquired kidney disease in humans, but in most cases the pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood. Our group uses live imaging techniques, including intravital microscopy, and computational analysis to investigate how toxins alter mitochondrial function and dynamics in kidney tubular cells in real-time, and the downstream consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction on important physiological processes, such as solute transport and calcium signaling."
