Age clocks today I Mark Kotter | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

Can we regenerate the brain by replacing the cells lost to disease? In this session from the Milan Longevity Summit 2026, Professor *Mark Kotter* explores the frontier of regenerative medicine and neuroscience, where stem cell technologies are opening new possibilities for treating neurological disorders once considered irreversible. The conversation focuses on remyelination—the process of repairing damaged nerve fibres—and how advances in cell therapy, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology could transform the treatment of conditions such as multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases. As regenerative medicine moves from the laboratory to the clinic, these innovations are bringing us closer to restoring brain function rather than simply slowing disease progression. Professor Mark Kotter is Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at the *University of Cambridge*, Honorary Consultant Neurosurgeon at Cambridge University Hospitals, and Founder and CEO of *bit.bio*. An internationally recognised leader in regenerative neuroscience, his pioneering work combines stem cell biology, gene editing, and artificial intelligence to create human cells for research and therapeutic applications, accelerating the future of precision and regenerative medicine. The Milan Longevity Summit brings together global leaders across science, medicine, policy, business, technology and society to rethink the future of health through a One Health perspective—recognising that the wellbeing of people, planet and economies is deeply interconnected.
