Understanding the interrelationships between calcium signaling, mitochondria and free radicals in cell physiology and pathophysiology / @uclbiosciences / @UCL.

[Gabriel Esteban Valdebenito @GabboV]

Today marked my last day at @DuchenLab and @uclbiosciences @ucl. Over the past 4 years, I've had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic individuals and gaining valuable knowledge. Grateful for the experiences that have molded me as a scientist. Eager for what the future holds!

Thank you to all the board members of the @BFWGraduates for organising such a great RPD event. I thoroughly enjoyed the day listening to all the great presentations and the discussions that followed. I'm also delighted to have been awarded the 1st prize for my presentation 😀

[Biochemical Society @BiochemSoc]

We are delighted to present The Keilin Memorial Lecture to Professor Michael Duchen in 2024! @michael_duchen’s work currently focuses on the dialogue between cell signalling pathways in mitochondria, and the roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in disease.

Our #BogueFellowship recipient, @GabboV, had an unforgettable experience taking part in an exchange at @Harvard. Read more about his experiences here. https://t.co/KHFcKV2qVn

[Ashley Lam @Ashley_Lam14]

Really excited to have been awarded the Bogue fellowship allowing me to spend 3months in @DrWilliamHwang ’s lab at Harvard. The Bogue fellowship generously funds PhD students/post docs to travel to the US for research or courses.

It’s over 34 years since the first cause of mitochondrial myopathy was identified @LondonMito by Holt, Morgan-Hughes, and the late Prof Anita Harding. Since then 100s of causes have been identified but we still lack a cure. #mitoawarenessweek #WMDW @4Lilyfoundation @MitoAware
