James McCully, a heart surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is known for his groundbreaking work in treating children with heart defects.
Now, he's been invited by the World Mitochondria Society to give a presentation on "Mitochondrial Transplantation: Rescue of Cellular Viability and Function and Modulation of the Ischemic Phenotype in the Myocardium" at a meeting in Paris on March 22, per a press release.
McCully's presentation will focus on the role of mitochondrial transplantation in enhancing outcomes for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and its profound impact on the transcriptomic profile, which plays a "key role" in how a patient's heart functions.
McCully's research has "not only advanced surgical procedures but also introduced new technologies to enhance the quality of life for children with heart defects," the WMS states.
He's been invited "as he plays a strategic role in the field of medicine, especially his groundbreaking work in pediatric cardiac surgery and his development of mitochondrial transplantation."
McCully's presentation is free and open to the public.
