www.MitoWorld.org is committed to raising public, professional and patient community awareness globally about mitochondria science, diseases, dysfunction and health. As a central resource, MitoWorld strives to share advances in mitochondrial research and clinical practice.

Guided by a senior scientific advisory board (SAB) comprising leading mitochondrial researcher and clinician-researchers and several mitochondrial medicine clinicians (Medical Advisors).

MitoWorld’s mostly volunteer Team includes three postdoc level gifted young investigators, a senior editor and writer, talented web developer and long-time patient and industry relations expert.

Together, this team with the advisory boards’ guidance produces, collects, and publishers external resources on the site and then internally produces a constant stream of high-quality original media.

  • MitoBlog. We post on the latest research papers, profile mitochondrial researchers and clinicians, portray mitochondria labs globally, and report on major conferences.
  • MitoCast. We conduct video interviews and accumulate information from leading researchers and clinicians.
  • MitoNews. We post articles from outside sources and feature mitochondria newsfeeds from PubMed, Nature Portfolio, PRNewswire and Google on our homepage.
  • Mito Events. Posting upcoming conferences and symposia and, in many cases, providing special coverage of the upcoming events through media partnerships with the conference companies and academic organizers.
  • “Beyond the Disease”. In partnership with the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation  (UMDF.org), we compile a monthly set of papers to be published in their newsletter.

The core information resources on the site include a directory of leading mitochondrial researchers, academic institutions, patient organizations and clinical centers (LINK).

We are a participatory, community building nonprofit organizations. We invite inquiries, participants, and we are always looking for collaborators, supporters and funders. Feel free to reach out and help us build the “Mitochondrial Revolution” (Contact)

MitoWorld™ is a project of the California-based national R & D human capital and STEM nonprofit, National Laboratory for Education Transformation, NLET.

When Gordon Freedman, NLET’s founder and former journalist, discovered he had several mitochondrial disorders, NLET launched MitoWorld to help get the word out about the emerging potential of mitochondrial research to help across the health and disease spectrums.
