On April 9, the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition will host guest speaker Dr. Bradlee Heckmann in its ongoing Evening Lecture Series.
Heckmann’s talk is titled, “From the Mitochondria with Love—Bioenergetic Factors in Healthy Aging and Disease.” He will discuss emerging insights into how mitochondrial pathways regulate longevity and how their disruption contributes to disease progression. He also will examine promising therapeutic opportunities aimed at restoring mitochondrial function, improving bioenergetic capacity and promoting healthy aging.
Heckmann is the co-founder, president and chief scientific officer of Asha Therapeutics. His academic laboratory studies the regulation of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration resulting from aberrant bioenergetic regulation in diseases including Parkinson’s, ALS, and Alzheimer’s disease. He serves as an advisor to multiple pharmaceutical and biotech companies and research foundations…
