Really great get together at the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network Science Day in York yesterday MitoCluster PI Carlo Viscomi & ECR Pedro Silva-Pinheiro presented their recent research on AAV-based gene therapy for #mitochondrialdisease & mouse mtDNA knockouts

Our last session focused on our Working Groups and training opportunities within the Network with Robert Pitceathly and David Kent. To find out more about our Working Groups, visit our new webpage:

MRC National Mouse Genetics Network

After a coffee break with some time for discussion around our ECRs’ posters, we've heard from some of our PIs from across the Clusters, including Carlo Viscomi, Jen Morton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦, and our first Keynote speaker, Elizabeth Fisher, before stopping for lunch!

This afternoon our ECRs have been talking career progression and debating whether we'll still be using mouse models for medical research in 50 years.

We're looking forward to two more days in York, with talks tomorrow focused on the research and on Friday our associates join us!
