Training

MITGEST aims to educate a young generation of scientists with the scientific and transferable skills needed to tackle the many challenges of the highly complex and integrated roles in cellular metabolism and disease in which mitochondria participate. Our training programme is based on a modular and structured approach and it is designed to cater to the DCs’ individual needs. It combines local and network-wide activities shared between academia and industry through secondments.
