Metabolism, Transport and Motion (Translational Research part)

Aim

In the translational research part of Metabolism, Transport and Motion (NCMLS Theme 2), the molecular aspects of certain disorders of energy metabolism (e.g. mitochondrial disorders) and transport (e.g. disorders of renal water transport) will be covered from bench to bedside. There will be special emphasis on the clinical and fundamental aspects of these diseases, the burden for the (often young) patients, and the latest developments in diagnosis, therapies and prevention (e.g. by special diets or enzyme replacement therapy).
