Ben’s Knisely award was presented by Professor Ilias Tachtsidis, president of the Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) at their annual meeting in Thessaloniki, Greece

Proud to give my plenary talk at ISOTT2025 in Thessaloniki. “Measurement of Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase with Near Infrared Spectroscopy - an ISOTT magical mystery tour”It’s amazing the field is so dynamic at the moment - many people shining a light on mitochondrial function

Registration (free!) is open for the online MOXY mNIRS SUMMIT. A great way to learn about practical use of mNIRS in sport and wellness. A slight bias toward studies using MOXY monitor devices but there is always much of interest for all mNIRS users loom.ly/imNd04s
