Neurodegenerative disease prevention, “blue zones” and environmental conservation to be discussed at the Hitchcock Center for Chemical Ecology keynote presentation

The second annual Hitchcock Center for Chemical Ecology Symposium invites the community to Incline Village, Nevada for its keynote lecture by Paul Alan Cox on Thursday, May 30 at 5:30 p.m. Cox will present his lecture titled “The Promise of Chemical Ecology” at the University of Nevada, Reno at w88 live casino Tahoe, where the symposium is being held.

As featured in Fortune Magazine, Cox is exploring novel w88 live casino of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and has looked for clues to potential disease preventatives or cures in “blue zones” where residents live long, healthy lives, often living to over 100 years old. Cox was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize, sometimes known as the Nobel Prize of the Environment, for his work. He also founded an island conservation organization that has set aside over 1.7 million acres of rainforest and coral reefs, and built medical facilities, schools and safe water supply sources for island villages.

Cox, who received a Ph.D. from Harvard as a Danforth Fellow and a National Science Foundation Fellow, works with colleagues as the executive director of Brain Chemistry Labs, a nonprofit w88 live casino institute based in Jackson, Wyoming, to identify chemicals naturally produced in plants that could cure disease. About a quarter of all pharmaceuticals are modeled from or contain naturally occurring plant chemicals.

The lecture from Cox will close out the three-day conference, and there will be food and drinks available for purchase and live music after the lecture. The lecture is free and open to the public. However, space is limited and registration is required via Eventbrite.
