- Wednesday, 18. July Departure in the early morning
- Introductory lectures (45+15 min) will be presented in morning sessions (09:00 to 12:45).
- In the afternoons (15:00-19:00), selected case studies will be presented. This will include flash presentations of selected posters (5+5 min) by participants. Discussions and demonstration experiments will focus on topics of mitochondrial respiratory physiology in special interest groups.
- Fundamental and clinical perspectives will be integrated in these presentations, rather than sequentially arranged and separated. The programme will maintain a large scope for questions, and formal and informal discussions (joint evening sessions). The steep slopes around Schroecken do not provide an opportunity for escape.
- Students and participants are encouraged to present posters (no expensive high-tech required) on experimental results (these may be presented in forum sessions) and experimental plans (these may be discussed in small working groups).
- The traditional lunch breaks provide good opportunities for informal 'Walks & Talks'. Depending on weather conditions, an entire afternoon and evening will be kept free for an excursion, or for other re-creational acitivities (hiking, rock climbing, canyoning, adventure park).
MiPsummer 2007: Topics
- 12-18 July 2007, Schroecken, Vorarlberg, Austria
- The interests expressed by participants and the MiP lecturers will determine the range of topics. These will include aspects of:
- Enzyme capacities and flux control
- Membrane potential, coupling and respiratory control
- Substrate/inhibitor titrations in the study of mitochondrial respiratory capacity
- Respiratory studies with isolated mitochondria, intact and permeabilized cells and tissue biopsies
- Kinetics of competitive and irreversible inhibitors (including signaling molecules such as NO)
- Apoptosis and respiratory function
- Respiratory defects in various pathological states
- ... see MiPsummer program
- The interests expressed by participants and the MiP lecturers will determine the range of topics. These will include aspects of:
- Many further topics were considered, but are not covered, since they are the subject of other courses - or will be presented in future ::::*MiPschools.
- Substrate transport, ion regulation and respiration
- Kinetic and thermodynamic regulation, integrated perspectives of flux control analysis
- Mitochondrial ROS production, ROS-induced injury and antioxidative defense
- ...
