Jake Pates is a American Olympian and former professional snowboarder who is also an advocate for brain health and mental health. After experiencing numerous repetitive head injuries himself, he became passionate about improving concussion protocols and point of care for brain health-related issues. As the founder of Happy Healthy Brain Foundation, Ascenti, and Baseline Neuro, Pates is particularly interested in utilizing modern technology to generate objective data to aid in the assessment, treatment, and management of brain health-related issues. Pates founded Baseline Neuro in hopes of making modern advancements in medical technology and longevity solutions more accessible to improve patient outcomes.

Dr. Hambright received his B.S. in Biology from the University of Texas at Tyler. He then completed his M.S. in Microbiology at the University of Texas at Arlington prior to completing his PhD training in the Biology of Aging Training Program at UTHealth San Antonio at the Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies. As a PhD student under Qitao Ran, he investigated the redox biology of age associated neurodegenerative diseases including mechanisms related to cognitive decline. He and his colleagues were the first to identify ferroptosis as a novel cell-death mechanism responsible for degeneration of neurons primarily afflicted during ALS and Alzheimer’s disease. His work elucidating these mechanisms in different neuronal populations has garnered over 500 citations from two different manuscripts.
