Seminar “GRACILE Syndrome – A Fetal-Onset Mitochondrial Progeria”
06/05 11:00 – 11:45
Biomedicum, Ravila 19, Room 0093
Dr. Jukka Kallijärvi’s group investigates mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III (CIII) deficiencies, particularly GRACILE syndrome, a severe multiorgan metabolic disease in newborn infants first described in Finland. Using a patient mutation knock-in mouse model, his lab explores pharmacological, dietary, and gene therapy interventions to uncover novel treatments and understand the pathogenesis of this condition. This seminar will provide an overview of his work on GRACILE Syndrome.
