TRAINING SESSION:
TECHNOLOGIES IN MITOCHONDRIAL BIOENERGETICS
WITH DR. CHRIS PERRY
ONLINE EVENT
MONDAY MAY 6, 2024
2:00PM – 4:00PM
OVERVIEW
On May 6th, Dr. Chris Perry facilitated another training session during which he shared invaluable insights into the essential technologies required for conducting research in mitochondrial bioenergetics. Dr. Perry showcased his methodologies, analytical techniques, and fostered meaningful discussions within the realm of muscle metabolism.
Chris Perry’s current research delves into understanding the intricate regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism. His work investigates how disruptions in normal metabolic processes contribute to diseases characterized by muscle weakness and diminished exercise capacity. With a primary goal of developing innovative therapeutic strategies, Dr. Perry aims to enhance and restore normal metabolic control, thereby improving muscle fitness in conditions such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cancer-related muscle weakness, and chemotherapy-induced muscle issues.
