Last December our friends from MEET organised their final and closing congress on mitochondrial disease in London. After a campaign of almost 4 years the Mitochondrial European Educational Training Project is ending in January 2017. In that period 11 PhD students and 3 post doc students were trained in the mitochondrial disease field, in 9 research centres throughout Europe. Hopefully they all stay committed to the mitochondrial research field. It is inspirational to see how a new generation of researchers grew to be involved in mitochondrial disease!
IMP was invited to the congress as the energetic MEET’ers also raised funds for IMP with a crowd funding campaign and by participating in many sportive events around Europe. On this website we have been reporting about these.
THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN! With only 100 days left until the tenth edition of Rare Disease Day on Tuesday 28 February, rare disease patients and organisations around the world have already started preparing their Rare Disease Day activities and events.
