"The Nuffield Department of Women's & Reproductive Health invites you to MitOX 2022 on Friday 8th April 2022. It's our annual meeting packed with short talks and posters on cancer metabolism, neuroscience, diabetes, mitochondrial disorders and general mitochondrial biology. This one day hybrid conference is ideal for researchers with an interest in mitochondria from both academia and pharma. It will include a range of short talks and posters on cancer metabolism, neuroscience, diabetes, mitochondrial disorders and general mitochondrial biology." https://www.wrh.ox.ac.uk/news/mitox-2022-8th-april
