PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--La Fondation Ipsen and Nature Publishing Group share the same desire to help new scientific knowledge emerge and facilitate the exchange of the most promising ideas from a variety of different research areas. In 2007, the two organisations came together to create a new series of scientific events – the Emergence & Convergence mini-symposia - one-day meetings highlighting some of the most dynamic sectors in biological and medical research. The sixth meeting on December 5 discussed a particularly important area in neurological disease research: the mitochondrial dysfunction. The meeting was organized by Kalyani Narasimhan (Nature Neuroscience, USA), Alan Packer (Nature Genetics, USA) and Yves Christen (La Fondation Ipsen, France).
