Discover Mitochondria

Mitochondria are small organelles present in large numbers in almost all cells of the body. They contain enzymes (which accelerate the reactions of converting food into energy) linked in a complex chain: the respiratory chain, which produces ATP (a molecule that contains energy in chemical form).

Dear friends, dear visitors,
Welcome to the A.M.Mi website

Since 1998, the association has pursued a clear mission: to support families affected by mitochondrial diseases and advance research. These diseases are rare, complex, sometimes silent... but they strike hard, everywhere, and often without warning. In the face of them, we have chosen to respond with solidarity, science, and human commitment.

In 2025, our association enters its 27th year...
