Jinan University, China
Professor of Immunology, Director of Institute of Geriatric Immunology, Dean of the School of Medicine, Jinan University, China. His research focuses on immunosenescence, the immunological underpinnings of age-related diseases, and the development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies targeting aging and its associated disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders, frailty, and impaired vaccine responsiveness in older adults. His seminal work has been published in leading journals including Nature Aging, Nature Medicine, and NPJ Digital Medicine. He is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary aging research and global healthy longevity.
Linda Hildegard Bergersen

Jinan University, China
University of Oslo, Norway
Professor of Neurobiology of Aging at Jinan University, China and University of Oslo, Norway, with active affiliation at the Center for Healthy Aging, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her research focuses on brain energy metabolism, neuroglial interactions, and the role of lactate signaling via the HCAR1 receptor in brain function and ageing. She has led multiple internationally funded projects and contributed significantly to translational neuroscience, particularly in Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive ageing. Professor Bergersen is an elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.
Kwok Fai So

Jinan University, China
Professor of Neurobiology and Neural Regeneration at Jinan University, China, and Emeritus Professor at The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China. His research focuses on central nervous system regeneration and repair, neuroprotective mechanisms, brain aging, and targeted interventions for age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. He has led multiple major national and international collaborative research projects, with seminal work published in top-tier international journals including Nature Medicine, Neuron, Science Advances, Nature Communications, Nature Protocols, and PNAS. Professor So is an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with his work cited more than 30,000 times globally, and is a globally leading authority in neural regeneration and aging neuroscience with far-reaching academic influence.

Gunnar Poplawski

Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, USA
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, USA. His work focuses on aging, neural repair, and regeneration in the central nervous system. His research examines how age-related epigenetic changes limit neuronal plasticity and recovery after injury, and how these mechanisms can be reversed to restore youthful regenerative capacity. His laboratory studies spinal cord injury, corticospinal tract regeneration, and related molecular pathways, while also developing advanced genetic and viral tools for mechanistic discovery. Dr. Poplawski’s overarching goal is to translate insights from aging biology into therapies that promote repair in the injured and diseased nervous system.
Yanju Bao

Guang’anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,China
Director of the Second Outpatient Department at Guang’anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. He studied under renowned physicians including Feng Shilun and Hua Baojin. Dr. Bao advocates a classic formula system summarized as “treating all diseases via the six-meridian differentiation” and places strong emphasis on identifying chief symptoms, differentiating formula patterns, and grasping dynamic pathogenesis. His clinical interests include nodular diseases (lung, thyroid, and breast), postoperative care of malignant tumors (lung, gastric, and liver cancers), and the management of gynecological, pediatric, and cervical/lumbar pain conditions.
