1st Annual Conference of SMRM on Mitochondria in Biology and Medicine

1st Annual Conference of SMRM on

Mitochondria in Biology and Medicine

9 – 10 December 2011

and

Pre-Conference Workshop on

High-Resolution Respirometry (O2K)

8th December 2011

CSIR - Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Uppal Road, Hyderabad, INDIA

Mitochondria are classically more popular as the powerhouse of a cell. Recently it has started making strides in to various research areas of human concerns. Large numbers of people in India, particularly children, are affected with mitochondrial diseases. However, there is not much awareness about the disease among the public as well as the clinicians. Therefore, it is important to spread knowledge about the mitochondrial dysfunction and its implications. Hence, we felt that there is a need for a society, which can bridge a gap between basic and clinical research, by organizing conferences / meetings / workshops. With this aim, we have registered a non-profit organization, "Society for Mitochondrial Research and Medicine-India" (SMRM) in 2007. We are happy to announce that the SMRM organizes its 1st Annual Conference on "Mitochondria in Biology and Medicine", which would be a wonderful opportunity for the students, scientists, clinicians and public to discuss about the recent trends in mitochondrial research. We have made efforts to invite speakers working on various aspects of mitochondria, such as; physiology, toxicology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, diagnostics and dysfunctions. On behalf of the SMRM and CCMB, we extend very warm welcome to those who are interested in mitochondria related research to attend this conference.

Pre-Conference Workshop

High-Resolution Respirometry (O2k)

8th December, 2011

Limited to only 20 participants

As a part of the 1st Annual Conference of SMRM, we are organizing a one-day Workshop, prior to the conference, on High-Resolution Respirometry (O2k). Mitochondrial energetics not only decides the fate of cells but provide information between the environment and the epigenome. Mitochondrial membrane potential is a key force in bioenergetics and is dependent on the respiratory efflux. High Resolution Respirometry (O2K) is being applied for the functional diagnosis of mitochondrial defects by monitoring of metabolic parameters in small samples of biopsies, cultured cells and isolated mitochondria.

The workshop is aimed to train a total of 20 students/young scientists. Preference would be given to those who are working in the field of mitochondria.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Medical physics is the science of human health and radiation exposure. Ionizing radiation has been beneficial to human beings in areas ranging from Cancer diagnosis and therapy to scientific research to generating electrical power. Cancer is currently the cause of 12% of deaths worldwide. Of the 10 million new cancer cases diagnosed each year, 4.7 million are in the more developed countries and nearly 5.5 million in the less developed countries. The number of cancer cases in India is increasing due to increasing population, increase in the proportion of older people and changing patterns of lifestyles. Based on the cancer registry data it is estimated that there will be about 800,000 new cancer cases in India every year. At any given point there is likely to be 3 times this load that about 240,000 cases. About two thirds of them need some form of radiation therapy. Today there are more than 800 medical physicists in India. Even though the annual growth rate in the number of medical physicists is reported to be the highest in India, the total number is inadequate for the size of the population. While India has less than one medical physicist per millions population, it is from 5 to 20 in developed countries. This also reflects upon the meager facilities for X-ray diagnosis and radiation therapy of cancer in India. The challenge for academic radiology in India is also going to be the problem of educating and training a sufficient number of medical physicists, while coping with increasingly busy clinical practices. Also the development of modern health technology makes new applications safer than before as their inappropriate use can lead to unnecessary or unintended radiation doses, causing potential health hazards for patients, staff as well as public. Under these circumstances, this workshop provides a platform to exchange knowledge, share experience and discuss challenges and solutions to existing problems known in the field of Medical Physics.
