Announcing the First Urolithin A Scientific Summit

In the ever-evolving landscape of health research, few discoveries have ignited as much excitement as Urolithin A. Emerging as one of the most impactful natural compounds, Urolithin A is drawing the attention of the scientific community worldwide for its ability to target mitochondrial dysfunction and the hallmarks of aging.

As the significance of Urolithin A becomes more pronounced, now is the time to unite top scientific experts who have been pioneering the way in longevity research.

For the last 15 years, the scientific team at Amazentis has been spearheading Urolithin A research, and now they will be hosting the first Urolithin A Scientific Summit.

Urolithin A has emerged as a compelling player in the realm of aging research due to its potent ability to induce mitophagy^[1].This is particularly significant as mitochondrial dysfunction and disabled autophagy are hallmarks of aging and directly impact cellular health and energy production.

To date, most of the clinical research has focused on UA’s effects on skeletal muscle, but an explosion of preclinical research has been published or is underway, paving the way for more human trials.

The summit takes place on November 7th, 2023, from 9:50 a.m. to 4:30 p.m EST and will feature expert talks in the areas of:

• skeletal and cardiac muscles
• reproductive health
• immune health
• brain aging and neurodegenerative disease
• metabolism
• chronic kidney disease

Confirmed Speakers for the Summit

Confirmed speakers and topics

Here’s a highlight of some of the presenters and the topics they’ll be covering:

• Dr. Eric Verdin: President and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Dr. Verdin is renowned for his groundbreaking work on the molecular mechanisms of aging. He will be sharing his research on aging and immune health.
• Dr. Coleen Murphy: Dr. Murphy is a distinguished geneticist, professor, and director Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University. Her presentation delves into the intersection of reproductive health and mitophagy, shedding light on their interconnected roles in cellular vitality.
• Dr. Jerome Faige: Asthe head of the Physical Health department and vice-director of the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences in Lausanne, Switzerland, Dr. Faige is a recognized expert in muscle and aging biology. He’ll be sharing preclinical data on the efficacy of Urolithin A on kidney and muscle health in diabetic kidney disease.

Immune health applications by

• Dr. Nicola Vannini and Dr. Dominic Denk: Dr. Vannini is the Group Leader for the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research Lausanne, and Dr. Denk serves as a Clinician-Scientist at the Goethe University Hospital Frankfurt. The two will be discussing the application of Urolithin A in immune health
• Julie Faitg, PhD: Dr.Faitg is the Lead Regulatory Affairs and Scientific Manager Alliances at Amazentis. She will be sharing her expertise in mitochondrial function as it relates to skin health and aging.

Other distinguished speakers include
