DeSci NYC - Longevity and Tissue Replacement with Professor Jean Hébert

​DeSciNYC is delighted to invite you to an academic forum in New York City, centered around the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and longevity.

​The keynote speaker for the evening is Dr. Jean Hébert, a Professor of Neuroscience and Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Professor Hébert is renowned for his research in brain tissue replacement, a field that holds promise for reversing age-related degeneration and brain damage. While advancements suggest the possibility of replacing most organs with lab-grown alternatives, the brain remains irreplaceable, being central to our identity and consciousness. Hébert's research delves into this complexity, aiming to reverse brain aging through tissue replacement, thereby addressing a crucial aspect of human longevity that current organ replacement technologies cannot yet overcome.

​Schedule:
7:00-8:00 PM: Pizza and connect with peers sharing a common interest in longevity and neuroscience
8:00-8:30 PM: Keynote presentation by Professor Hébert about the latest advances in brain tissue replacement and its implications for longevity
8:30-9:30 PM: More chatting

​Bio:
Professor Jean Hébert's lifelong interest in combating aging led him to earn a Ph.D. in Genetics at the University of California, San Francisco. He furthered his research during his postdoctoral studies at Stanford University, focusing on brain development. This work continued at his lab at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he pioneered the concept of brain tissue replacement to reverse aging. Realizing the need for a practical application of his findings, Professor Hébert founded a company specializing in brain tissue replacement.
