Diagnosis of mitochondrial functions and mitochondrial injuries represents a current challenge for biomedical research and development. MitoCom establishes an inter-university Centre of Excellence in Clinical Mitochondrial Physiology and Comprehensive Exercise Testing, supporting translational research on mitochondrial competence in close collaboration with the local industry and other networks, e.g. Oncotyrol. Mitochondrial competence will play an increasing role in therapeutic and preventive medicine, with exercise and caloric balance providing the most effective measures for the reduction of several age-related health risks and degenerative diseases. MitoCom is a gateway and milestone to better diagnose, support and treat patients in our modern, rapidly ageing society..

	'''Diagnosis of mitochondrial functions and mitochondrial injuries''' represents a current challenge for biomedical research and development. ~~ROS production is~~ an ~~essential component~~ of ~~many cell signalling pathways. But ROS also induce oxidative stress~~ in ~~combination with diminished antioxidant capacity, as a potential cause of genetic~~ and ~~functional damage leading to ageing-related degenerative diseases~~, ~~ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cancer. The direct~~ collaboration and ~~feedback between specialists in mechatronics and biomedical science is of eminent importance for the targeted development~~, ~~evaluation, and optimization of the instrument~~. ~~Its immediate application in specific areas of research~~ will ~~result~~ in ~~key publications~~, ~~which contribute substantially to a successful introduction of~~ the ~~new technology into~~ the ~~market~~. ~~Importantly, the product~~ is ~~introduced not merely as~~ a ~~technical device, but an entire scientific approach is offered complete with protocols, instructions for quality control~~, and ~~references to applications~~ in ~~sports science and clinical diagnosis~~.
