The World Mitochondria Society awarded Dr. Ian J. Holt, Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Biodonostia, Spain for his scientific contribution 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose Couples Mitochondrial DNA Replication with Mitochondrial Fitness.

Dr. Holt shared his future goals with the scoentific committee: "Continuing the collaboration with Professor Spinazzola (University College London), we have developed comprehensive future plans, which have attracted new funding".

Dr. Holt's future plans include: 

  • launching the first clinical trial of 2DG late in 2023 in patients carrying the m.3243A>G mutation; 
  • testing 2DG against other heteroplasmic variants, including in a heteroplasmic mouse model (m.5024C>T)
  • assessing the effect of the compound on other cell types; and finally
  • elucidating further how nutrient and metabolite availability affect mitochondrial DNA replication and selection. 

 Dr. Holt stated: "These are exciting times for us and we hope to be able to share our substantial progress with you next year."
