Welcome to the information page regarding the discussion group Milwaukee Area Mitochondrias, or MAM. Our goal is to share the latest & greatest in local mitochondrial research and foster communication and collaboration amongst the Milwaukee area mitochondrial researchers.
The discussions will be held on the second Monday of each month from 3:30-4:30 pm, followed by a social hour from 4:30-5:30 pm. Each discussion will include 1-2 talks from Milwaukee area mitochondrial researchers including investigators from the Medical College of Wisconsin, Marquette University, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center.
We are currently working on the schedule and will post updates soon.

Where to park?
Park in the visitor lot at the Medical College of Wisconsin located directly across from the main entrance to MCW. MCW map
Where do I find TBRC C2195?
If you enter from the main MCW entrance, go right and turn left at the bookstore. Once you pass the cafeteria turn right and go all the way to the end of the hall. Take the elevators up one floor and TBRC C2195 is located to the right as you exit the elevators.
