MitoKor is a biotechnology company focused on the commercial applications of mitochondrial medicine. Mitochondria are the batteries and engines of cells, driving energy production, metabolism, and cell death, as well as other key signaling pathways. Mitochondria also house the “other” human genome, inherited only from the mother. Mitochondrial dysfunction is believed to be a significant contributing factor in major diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, osteoarthritis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. MitoKor has completed sequencing the mitochondrial genome of more than 925 individuals, which is believed to be the world’s largest database of its type.
