Giving

How can you help MITOMED continue its research towards understanding mitochondrial disease?

Your gift of any size supports our efforts to provide the best possible research and clinical opportunities to patients suffering from mitochondrial disease. Any gift is greatly appreciated. Your contribution will be used to assist with either our clinical research laboratory or evaluation clinic as we strive for a greater understanding of the mechanisms behind mitochondrial disease. Also, please let us know if you would like to help sponsor a fellowship in mitochondrial medicine or a genetic counseling internship for one of the many exceptional candidates interested in joining the MITOMED team.

For further information, contact Cheri Seifert at (949) 824-1337.
