Douglas C. Wallace, PhD, Director of the Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, delivers the 2019 Mitochondrial Medicine Symposium Opening Address.
Symposium gives patients and families the opportunity to meet some of the top clinical mitochondrial specialists from around the world. There is a mix of education-based sessions, “Ask the Mito Doc” panel discussions, and social events to meet and connect with others who share your journey. You will discover an entire community of helpful resources and support services during the Symposium’s two-day family program.
“I am still always amazed by the true desire of the clinicians to speak and learn from us. You can tell your individual story. I LOVE connecting with people from the top to the bottom.”
“I enjoyed every aspect of the conference. The free time to interact with other attendees was just as beneficial as the seminars. There was so much to choose from and it was very well organized.”

Power Surge 2020:
A Virtual Event
June 26 – 27, 2020
International Virtual Event
Programs to Connect Patient and Families
UMDF’s four-day Mitochondrial Medicine Symposium was completely reimagined this year as a virtual event. Power Surge 2020 was a successful and unique online experience for patients, their families and the mitochondrial medicine community.
Power Surge 2020 covered thought-provoking discussions surrounding clinical trials, as well as current topics facing our patient community in today’s unprecedented landscape. For two consecutive days, attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions and engage in live conversations through online chat and polling.
From couches all over the world, the mitochondrial community came together to share the latest research, collaborative initiatives and new hope for potential treatments and therapies. Thank you to our generous Power Surge 2020 sponsors, speakers and participants for creating an event that will go down in the history books.
