MITOCHONDRIAL MEDICINE 2020 – Phoenix, AZ
The health and well-being of the mitochondrial disease patient community is a top concern for the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF). As we continue to plan Mitochondrial Medicine 2020 for the month of June, UMDF is closely monitoring the latest information regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This is a changing situation. UMDF, in partnership with the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board (SMAB), will continue to provide updates for our community as this situation develops.

About the Symposium
The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation Symposium has been recognized by many researchers, scientists, and families as THE symposium for mitochondrial disease in the world. 15 years ago, the UMDF had only a handful of exhibitors and less than 200 scientific attendees. We now have more exhibitors than space at times and close to 650 attendees…representing almost every state in the United States and more than 15 different countries from around the world.

Every time I attend it gets better and better . . . speakers, networking, etc. and especially the last 2-3 years, clinical trial/studies part of program. Great to see more in attendance!
Talking with doctors and researchers! So helpful. Teen sessions… My kids loved feeling a part of a group of teens that were “like them.”
For our family, this symposium was transformational. We have been given hope. For our daughter, she now has friends who get her!
