🎤 Speaker Panel
Ivana Gajic Hoffman
Ivana began her career in general surgery, training in systems thinking, precision, and caring for the human body under pressure. She later shifted into longevity and regenerative medicine in response to the limits of reactive healthcare. Today, she combines clinical longevity practice and research, integrating nutrition, metabolic health, skin longevity, and aging biology into actionable protocols, supported by training from Harvard Medical School and the Geneva College of Longevity Science.
Thomas Michaels
Thomas is an Assistant Professor at ETH Zürich working at the interface of physics, control theory and computational biology.
His group studies how biomolecular processes are regulated in space and time, from liquid organelles that act as biochemical control units to the aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Nicolás Hinrichs
Nicolás, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute, investigates how minds coordinate.
Using hyperscanning, active-inference theory and information geometry, he models interpersonal neural networks to understand how shared priors, affect and interaction shape collective intelligence.
