Thank You for Joining WMS Webinar: A Special Thanks to Dr. Andrés Caicedo and Dr. Estefanía Nova
- Details
- Published on 09 April 2025

The World Mitochondria Society (WMS) extends its warmest thanks to all attendees of the recent webinar: “Understanding Horizontal Mitochondrial Transfer: The Good and the Bad”, held on April 9, 2025.
Your enthusiastic participation, questions, and scientific engagement greatly enriched the session and reaffirmed the importance of exploring this emerging frontier in mitochondrial research.
Our Deep Appreciation to the Speakers
- Dr. Andrés Caicedo (Universidad San Francisco de Quito) delivered a compelling presentation on the biological relevance and therapeutic potential of mitochondrial transfer in skin tissue and beyond.
- Dr. Estefanía Nova (Universidad de Concepción) illuminated the complex role of mitochondrial transfer in tumorigenesis, emphasizing its dualistic potential in both promoting and inhibiting cancer progression.
A Message from the Chairs
Prof. Volkmar Weissig and Prof. Marvin Edeas, who chaired the session, remarked:
“It is not easy to answer critical questions about this critical subject, but Andrés and Estefanía were perfect. They highlighted both the light and the dark side of mitochondrial transfer with clarity and precision.”
Their insights underscored the scientific depth and open-minded discussion that made this webinar such a success.
Replay Available
For those who missed the event or would like to revisit the talks, the recorded webinar is now available here.
Upcoming Workshop: Join Us in Berlin
This webinar sets the stage for a hands-on workshop titled “Mitochondrial Transfer and Transplantation: From Bench to Bedside” led by Dr. Andrés Caicedo, to be held on October 22, 2025, in Berlin, before the Targeting Mitochondria 2025 Congress.

Understanding Horizontal Mitochondrial Transfer: The Good and the Bad
- Details
- Published on 18 February 2025

The World Mitochondria Society (WMS) is organizing a new online free webinar on the latest evidence on Horizontal Mitochondrial Transfer (HMT) and its dual role in health and disease. Recent discoveries highlight how HMT can support tissue homeostasis and metabolic function, while also contributing to tumor progression through intercellular communication between cancer cells and the stroma.
Webinar Details
Title: "Understanding Horizontal Mitochondrial Transfer: The Good and the Bad”
Date: April 9, 2025
Time: 16:00 CET
Presenters and Topics
Dr. Andrés Caicedo, from the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), will discuss the intricate dynamics of mitochondrial transfer in skin tissue and share insights into therapeutic applications of mitochondrial transplantation.
Dr. Estefanía Nova, from the Universidad de Concepción, will delve into how HMT influences tumor onset and progression, revealing potential avenues for cancer intervention.
This webinar also serves as a preview to the hands-on workshop “Mitochondrial Transfer and Transplantation: From Bench to Bedside”, led by Dr. Caicedo, which will take place on October 22, 2025, in Berlin — a pre-congress activity for the Targeting Mitochondria 2025 Congress.
Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of the crucial, yet complex, process of horizontal mitochondrial transfer, and to learn how new discoveries could transform approaches to cancer therapy and beyond.
