The interdisciplinary Muscle Focus Group aims to bring together researchers from AU Health, who are interested in understanding the role of skeletal muscle in health and disease and in gaining insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying muscle dysfunction during the development and progression of muscle diseases. The goal of this group is to promote the discussion of cutting edge-research with our colleagues, in order to spark interdisciplinary collaborations that will lead to scientific breakthroughs and facilitate the development of therapeutic interventions.
The interdisciplinary Muscle Focus Group will organize bi-monthly meetings with research presentations, flash talks and networking sessions. We also plan to host ad-hoc seminars with international speakers, as well as a one-day on-site retreat with poster sessions where students can present their work and receive constructive feedback.
Organizers
Ermelinda Porpiglia and Jean Farup from Department of Biomedicine and Mette Hansen from Department of Public Health (member of the Food and Nutrition Steering Committee)
