...The Future of Medicine will come through Mitochondria-Microbiota...
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Scientific Committee, it is a pleasure to welcome you for the 5th World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria which is helding at Hotel Ritz Carlton, Berlin on October 29 to 31, 2014.
Targeting Mitochondria: Strategies, Innovations & Challenges
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with the aging process and a variety of human disorders, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, migraine, infertility, kidney and liver diseases, toxicity of HIV drugs... It is well recognized that the (patho)physiological role of mitochondria widely exceeds that of solely being the biochemical power plant of our cells. Over recent years, mitochondria have become an interesting target for drug therapy, and the research field aimed at “Targeting Mitochondria” is active and expanding as witnessed by the third edition of the world congress on this topic. It is becoming a necessity and an urge to know why and how to target mitochondria with bioactive molecules and drugs in order to treat and prevent these pathologies and chronic diseases.
This 5th World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria will cover a variety of new strategies and innovations as well as clinical applications in Mitochondrial Medicine. Just as for the previous editions of “Targeting Mitochondria”, the scientific committee has again succeeded in inviting an outstanding panel of speakers; each one of which a leader in their particular field.
Special Workshop dedicated to the Evaluation of Mitochondria in vivo and in Humans
The Scientific Committee of Targeting Mitochondria 2014 decided to organize this workshop to highlight all methods which allow investigating and studying mitochondria in physiologic and pathologic conditions. We will talk more about mitochondria evaluation in human clinic.
This workshop will be renewed each year to update the methods.
We will invite all scientific and industrial teams to present their strategies and innovations during Targeting Mitochondria World Congress 2014.
With this exciting program, we look forward to welcoming you in Berlin for this particular event.
