We're walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!
The mitoHOPE Program is piloting the introduction of mitochondrial donation into Australian clinical practice.
The program includes:
- a clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of mitochondrial donation,
- a research program to refine existing mitochondrial donation techniques, and
- an education program to increase health practitioners' knowledge about mitochondrial disease.
The mitoHOPE Program’s clinical trial is the first of its kind in Australia, and only the second in the world. The program will build on a long-standing partnership between Monash University and Newcastle University (UK), where the world’s first mitochondrial donation clinical trial took place. The mitoHOPE Program brings together expertise and experience from both centres to provide hope to families affected by mitochondrial disease.
