Welcome to Targeting Mitochondria 2025
We are excited to invite you to the 16th World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria, happening from October 22–24, 2025, in Berlin.
Organized by the World Mitochondria Society, this annual event brings together top experts in mitochondrial research and medicine to share new discoveries and ideas in mitochondrial therapy, gene treatment, and mitochondrial transplantation.
During this 16th Edition, we will focus on turning the latest research into real medical treatments. Mitochondria play a key role in all diseases, and by targeting them with innovative approaches, we can open new paths for treatment. Our sessions will highlight recent advances in the field and discuss how we can bring these innovations into everyday clinical practice.
Mitochondrial transplantation has emerged as a promising strategy to restore cellular function and repair damaged tissues. This breakthrough offers exciting opportunities to improve patient care and transform treatment approaches.
Join us in continuing our journey of collaboration and discovery as we explore how targeting mitochondria will shape the future of medicine.
Remember:
As we repeated with Marvin Edeas (WMS Founder): The future of medicine will come through mitochondria
We look forward to seeing you in Berlin and working together to make a difference in healthcare.
Warm regards,
Prof. Volkmar Weissig
President of the World Mitochondria Society
Midwestern University, USA
