This workshop, part of the Crossover programme funded by the Biochemical Society and the RSE Young Academy of Scotland, explored discussions, insights and opportunities from bringing together a unique variety of expertise from biochemistry, design, social sciences and humanities to co- create stories that could support greater understanding of people’s experiences living with and working with mitochondrial diseases.

The workshop took place over Zoom on 25th February 2021 and participants shared their perspectives through discussions and reflections across societal, experiential and biochemical levels. This sought to build arguments for collaboration across multiple disciplines that could shape proposals dismantling silos of understanding and caring for mitochondrial diseases.
