TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH ON MITOCHONDRIA, METABOLISM, AGING, AND DISEASE SYMPOSIUM (TRiMAD)
TRiMAD 2017
The TriMAD Regional Symposium is an annual conference initiated in 2010 to promote cross-talk and collaboration between mitochondrial/metabolism and aging-centered research groups at the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, and the University of Pennsylvania. Since then, the annual symposium has rapidly grown to encompass the greater northeast region. TriMAD 2017 promises be an exciting two-day symposium comprising keynote lectures, plenary talks from speakers representing at least nine institutions, poster sessions and lively discussions centered around metabolism and mitochondria in aging and disease.
