Ever wondered how mitochondria ๐Ÿ”‹ influence cell fate ๐Ÿงซ?

Iโ€™m excited to host the first Fusion Conference all about that, together with Mireille Khacho & Mageni Soriano!
Weโ€™ll dive into mitochondriaโ€™s role in cell identity and transitions.

Stay tunedโ€”weโ€™ll announce an exciting speaker lineup soon!
