The 14th edition of the World Conference on Targeting Mitochondria 2023 will elaborate on the present and future of mitochondria research, on October 11-13 at Steigenberger Hotel Am Kanzleramt, Berlin.
Volkmar Weissig, president of the World Mitochondria Society, and Marvin Edeas, president of the scientific committee, stated: “We will push Targeting Mitochondria towards a new step with a highlight on clinical translations. We will also allocate sessions to mitochondria in space, exosomes based mitochondrial medicine, mitochondria transplantation, and many others.”
A Glimpse of Targeting Mitochondria 2023 Sessions
Mitochondria experts will cover the latest research and developments is the world of mitochondria. The latest innovations and future research will also be introduced. The sessions are planned as follows:
- Mitochondrial Biodynamics: Standpoint 2023
- Mitochondria & Longevity: Towards Expanding Life Span
- Novel Advances in Mitochondria Quality Assessment
- Mitochondria & Our Changing Environment
- Pharmaceutical & Non-Pharmaceutical Mitochondria-Based Innovations
- Mitochondria, Microgravity & Space Travel – A glance into the future
