The World Mitochondria Society is organizing its 14th world conference, Targeting Mitochondria 2023, on October 11-13 at the Steigenberger Hotel Am Kanzleramt, Berlin. Targeting Mitochondria 2023 will address the latest advances and perspectives in mitochondrial research and provide an outlook on future mitochondrial therapies.
Volkmar Weissig, president of the World Mitochondria Society, and Marvin Edeas, president of the scientific committee, said, "This year we will have specific sessions on innovations such as mitochondria in space, exosome-based mitochondrial medicine, mitochondria transplantation and many other topics. Targeting Mitochondria will not only showcase the latest advances, but also highlight the latest strategies to take clinical translation to a new level."
