The UCL Consortium for Mitochondrial Research recognises the fundamental role of mitochondria in the wellbeing of cells, tissues and the organism and their major role in a remarkable array of major diseases. The consortium brings together a wide range of basic and clinical scientists through a spectrum of scientific disciplines across the UCL campus. Our broad goal is to generate innovative experimental approaches and applications to illuminate major questions from fundamental mechanisms of mitochondrial biology and bioenergetics to understanding the role of mitochondria in disease. Our ambition is to train the next generation of scientists and clinicians and to transform the investigation and management of mitochondrial related disease.
