Can a naturally occurring antioxidant influence mitochondrial function and healthy aging? Understanding how cellular metabolism is regulated by small molecules such as ergothioneine is opening new avenues in aging biology and metabolic research.
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Hans-Georg Sprenger, Max Planck Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, Germany, as a speaker at the International Conference on Cell Biology (C-BIO 2026).
Valencia, Spain | December 2–4, 2026

This presentation will explore the emerging role of ergothioneine in regulating mitochondrial metabolism and maintaining cellular homeostasis. The talk will discuss how this naturally occurring antioxidant influences mitochondrial function, metabolic adaptation, and cellular resilience, providing new insights into healthy aging and age-related diseases.
Dr. Sprenger leads a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, where his work focuses on mitochondrial biology, metabolic regulation, and the molecular mechanisms that influence lifespan and healthspan. His research integrates cell biology, metabolism, and aging to understand how mitochondrial function shapes organismal health.
His laboratory investigates mitochondrial metabolism, nutrient sensing, and metabolic remodeling in the context of aging. Current studies examine how metabolites such as ergothioneine regulate mitochondrial physiology, cellular energy homeostasis, and stress responses, with the goal of identifying mechanisms that promote healthy aging and improve resilience against age-associated disorders.
Join us at C-BIO 2026 to discover how advances in mitochondrial biology and cellular metabolism are helping to unravel the mechanisms of healthy aging.
