Welcome
Mito University (Mito U) is an exciting program developed to provide a central place to find up-to-date, peer-reviewed educational information with an eye toward improving patient care through continuing medical education.
The UMDF and the Mitochondrial Medicine Society (MMS) proudly joined forces in 2020 to produce video presentations, quick reference documents, and a resource library for health care professionals. Content for Mito U is sourced through the UMDF Mitochondrial Medicine Conferences, various medical meetings held throughout the year, and custom lectures created by expert thought leaders in the field of mitochondrial medicine.
We encourage you to explore Mito U and join us in the quest for knowledge and understanding of mitochondrial disease.
