Mitochondrial Approaches to Support Brain Health

Cognitive Preservation: Mitochondrial Approaches to Support Brain Health
Dr. Siobhan Mitchell

We have a special guest who is visiting Singapore for the "Founders Forum" conference and will give a free public lecture at our meetup. In addition, we will offer snacks and hundreds of dollars worth of prices in a raffle.

Note: DIFFERENT venue this time, not TRC!

ATTENTION
Food will be provided.

We will need your email, full name and phone number if you wan to join the event (venue requirement). Please provide these by Saturday, Feb 22nd, to confirm your spot on the guestlist.
We will reach out to you individually on meetup or telegram!

As the global population ages, preserving cognitive function becomes increasingly critical for maintaining overall health and quality of life. Recent research highlights a central role for mitochondria in driving both normal cognitive processes and age-related decline. In this talk, we will first examine how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of cognitive aging, discussing mechanisms such as oxidative stress, impaired energy production, and altered cellular signaling. We will then explore evidence-based, mitochondria-targeted interventions—including nutrition, exercise, supplements, and potential pharmacological agents—that have shown promise in preserving cognitive function and forestalling neurodegenerative processes.

Holding a PhD in neuroscience from SUNY Albany, Siobhan Mitchell has also completed a post-doctoral fellowship on brain aging at the University of Washington. She has over 15 years of clinical research experience, seven patents on mood and cognitive food products, and has authored over 50 papers on aging, brain health, nutrition, metabolic health and more. With a personal passion for brain aging research, Siobhan has worked on metabolic and skin health, appetite, sports physiology and of cellular health – which she now focuses on as the Chief Scientific Officer for research-backed cellular health company, MitoQ – creators of the world’s first mitochondria-targeted antioxidant.
