Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). Special rules apply for research year students enrolled at Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list. The course is aimed at PhD-students and other researchers working in the field of basic and clinical research. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: a. Obtain theoretical knowledge on mitochondrial bioenergetics b. Measure mitochondrial respiratory capacity and ROS production in many different tissues as well as analysis of data c. Plan and design mitochondrial respiratory protocols Content The content of the course will be an introduction to basal mitochondrial respiratory measurements and also to more advanced measurement of ROS production, using two different approaches. Furthermore, there will be a master class (3 times 45 min) in mitochondrial bioenergetics. Besides from this, different topics will be covered during lectures, ranging from the effect of medication on mitochondrial function to the impact of exercise on mitochondrial function. The students will get an opportunity to present some of their own work, either on a poster or as an oral presentation, with facilitation of interactive presentations enabling extensive networking. Participants PhD-students and other researchers with interest in the topic. No special qualifications required Language English Form The form of the course will be a combination of exercises (hands on), lectures, student presentation (oral and poster) (see attached program).
