Mitochondria bring us together at the blue coral reefs! We are very pleased to invite you all to DynaMito2013, the 4th International Symposium on Dynamics of Mitochondria, which will be held October 28 - November 1, 2013 in Okinawa, Japan. This special meeting will promote intellectual exchange among researchers interested in mitochondrial dynamics and its related topics, and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration beyond the national boundaries. Moreover, researchers from the medical and pharmacological fields are expected to attend this meeting and gain new insights into the molecular basis of mitochondrial dynamics and its pathophysiology that would be relevant to their therapeutic and pharmaceutical approaches in the future. Set in an intimate environment in beautiful Okinawa, there will also be plenty of opportunity for all participants to engage in social activities and form lasting friendships. So, please join us for an exciting meeting!
