Welcome to Targeting Mitochondria 2021

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the World Mitochondria Society (WMS), we are excited to announce that the 13^th World Annual Meeting of WMS on Targeting Mitochondria will be held as on for October 26-28, 2022 in Berlin, Germany.

After the great success of the 12^nd WMS Meeting in 2021 that was held virtually with interactive sessions for discussion, we are hoping that personal interactions among colleagues from around the world will be a major feature of our 13^th World Annual Meeting.

While we have just started working on the outline of our next conference edition, we will potentially discuss the following topics:

• Mitochondrial Dysfunctions and Dynamics in Chronic Diseases
• Mitochondria transplantation and mitochondrial transfer
• Extracellular vesicles, exosomes and mitochondria
• Mitochondria and Immunity – Covid-19 and Cancer
• Nuclear-Mitochondrial Interactions and their Effect on Longevity and Health
• Strategies to Target Mitochondria: Clinical Trials and Potential Mitochondria-based Therapies

Basic scientists working at the bench in the laboratory, physicians treating patients suffering from mitochondrial disorders as well as representatives of companies working on the commercialization of mitochondria-targeted therapies are all welcome to our conference. I assure anyone who is going to join us in this year's Congress in October 2022 that you won’t be disappointed!

We are looking forward to meeting you all!

All our warmest regards.
