UK: Conference: MitOX 2024, 12th April 2024

ABOUT MITOX

MitOX is 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.

MitOX 2024 will be held at Tingewick Hall, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DU

HOW TO BOOK

Book online here.

Face-to-face registration is now open with a standard registration fee of £40 (£25 for students). Those wishing to present a poster need to register for the face to face meeting.

Attending via Zoom is free of charge and still requires registration before the day. However, you may miss out on some of the benefits of attending face-to-face.

The last booking date for this event is 29th March 2024
