Received $5,000 to attend an EASD Training Course on Oxidative Stress in Diabetes in Hannover, Germany, as well as an EMBO Workshop: 3rd Mitochondria, Apoptosis and Cancer Conference at the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. In between meetings I was afforded the opportunity to visit the Mitochondrial Biology Unit in Cambridge University to visit one of our collaborators Prof Mike Murphy.
