ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
Dr Louise Hecker (USA)
PhD
Clinical Associate Professor: Medicine - Cardiovascular Research, Baylor College of Medicine
Louise Hecker, PhD is an Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and the Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Fibronox with over 15 years of experience in regenerative biology, fibrosis research, and age-related disease therapeutics. She is a world-leading expert on Nox4 and Nrf2, having made numerous seminal discoveries in understanding how oxidative stress contributes to tissue fibrosis and aging.
Her groundbreaking research has revolutionized the understanding of fibrotic diseases and recently expanded into psychedelic medicine, where her team discovered that psilocybin extends cellular lifespan by up to 57% and improves survival in aged mice. As an academic entrepreneur, she has founded five companies and secured approximately $15 million in research funding as Principal Investigator while holding around 20 patent applications.
Dr Macsue Jacques
PhD
Postdoctoral Researcher at Monash University
Dr Macsue Jacques is a prominent postdoctoral researcher and data scientist specializing in aging, epigenetics, and longevity science. Based at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) at Monash University, she focuses on utilizing multi-omics approaches and advanced computational tools to understand the mechanisms of aging.

MEDICINAL PSYCHEDELIC TREATMENTS
Psychedelic-assisted treatments offer enormous potential in providing a meaningful alternative to current treatments for mental illness. PTSD is a debilitating condition that affects tens of millions of people worldwide, with many more trauma victims diagnosed with comorbid conditions such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. In recent clinical trials, MDMA has been shown to produce reliable clinical improvements, restoring patient safety and self-agency even for individuals who have suffered with PTSD for many years, and for whom many treatments have failed.
The wave of clinical psychedelic research and regulatory support is rapidly building, with experts forecasting the availability of psychedelic-assisted treatments in the US and EU within the next 2 to 5 years, subject to positive clinical outcomes in large trials that are currently underway.
