2025 MiSBIE Symposium at Columbia University | A fabulous and stimulating day distilled into eight minutes
The Mitochondrial Stress, Brain Imaging, and Epigenetics (MiSBIE) study is a NIH-funded research platform allowing investigators to ask deeply interdisciplinary questions around brain-body processes, mitochondrial diseases, and the link between energy and health processes.
This page contains information about the MiSBIE Study including December 2025 MiSBIE Symposium, the MiSBIE mother paper and study material (data dictionary, protocols, etc), and Publications. and Data Requests information (in development, planned summer 2026).

The 2025 MiSBIE Symposium
Thanks to everyone who participated and made the 2025 MiSBIE Symposium a success!
With gratitude, Martin, Caroline, and the MiSBIE Team
The 2025 MiSBIE Symposium included >620 registered, participating either in person or virtually.
This momentous event for the MiSBIE team brought people from all domains of life together, ranging from community members and families, physicians, students, entrepreneurs, investors, and academic scientists.

MiSBIE Transition Meeting
In April 2024, approximately 75 MiSBIE Team members, collaborators, partners, and broader international community members gathered to review the study rationale and design, 2-day protocol, and to share data, preliminary analyses, and some exciting initial results.
This meeting marked the transition from the data collection phase to the analysis and learning phase of the MiSBIE study.
