We are delighting to announce that we are collaborating with MITOtalks on our upcoming webinar celebrating Journal of Cell Science’s Special Issue: Cell Biology of Mitochondria. MITOtalks organisers Nuno Raimundo and Sjoerd Wanrooij have invited the authors of three of the papers published in this issue to present their research.

Thursday 3 July, 17:00 CEST, 16:00 BST, 11:00 EDT, 08:00 PDT

Yuli Buckley (Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine)

Fis1 regulates mitochondrial morphology, bioenergetics and removal of mitochondrial DNA damage in irradiated glioblastoma cells

Dikaia Tsagkari (University of Crete)

NHR-85 modulates mitochondrial and lipid homeostasis to protect against α-synuclein aggregation

MITOtalks were launched by Nuno and Sjoerd during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. Since then, they have continued to provide a platform for mitochondrial researchers to present their work to an online audience in their monthly webinars on the first Thursday of the month at 16:00 GMT/BST. You can join the MITOtalks mailing list here.
