Prof. Luigi Ferrucci, M.D., Ph.D. is Scientific Director of the National Institute on Aging (NIH) and Director of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. An internationally recognized leader in geroscience, his research explores the biological mechanisms of aging, frailty, and functional decline, with the goal of advancing healthy longevity and precision geromedicine.

Prof. Guido Kroemer is Editor-in-Chief of Geromedicine and Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Université Paris Cité. He is internationally recognized for his pioneering research on cell death, autophagy, immunometabolism, and healthy aging. His work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of the molecular mechanisms linking aging, metabolism, and age-related disease.

Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.

Prof. Mahmoud Abdellatif is Assistant Professor of Cardiovascular Ageing at the Division of Cardiology, Medical University of Graz. His research investigates the biological mechanisms of cardiovascular aging and their contribution to cardiometabolic disease, with a focus on identifying therapeutic targets to prevent or treat age-related conditions such as heart failure. His work spans autophagy, metabolism, and cardiac aging, aiming to extend healthy lifespan through mechanism-based interventions.

Department of Biology, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.

Prof. Steven N. Austad is Distinguished Professor and Protective Life Endowed Chair in Healthy Aging Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is also Scientific Director of the American Federation for Aging Research and Director of the UAB Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging. An internationally recognized leader in comparative geroscience, his research examines why aging rates differ across species and seeks to translate insights from exceptionally long-lived animals into interventions that extend human healthspan.
