Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course: 1. Has obtained theoretical knowledge on mitochondrial bioenergetics 2. Will be able to measure mitochondrial respiratory capacity and ROS production in many different tissues as well as analysis of data obtained 3. Will be able to 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. Participants There are no required qualifications, but basic knowledge about mitochondrial function would be beneficial. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal and Oral Sciences All graduate programmes Language English Form The form is a combination of workshops (hands-on), lectures and student presentations. The students will be asked to present their own research (poster or oral). We have invited several prominent lectures, and some of them have already accepted (see under teachers).
