Details
Organisers:
Prof Les Myatt (Oregon Health and Science University, USA)
Dr Joshua Fisher (University of Newcastle, Australia)
Aim:
This workshop will discuss the role of organelles in the placenta, trophoblast function, and the development of pathologies. We aim to incite discussion on the potential to identify, treat, and prevent disease through understanding organelles.
