Recent Speaking Engagements
On the stage where longevity science is being defined
Dr. Smith joined one of the leading gatherings focused on moving longevity science into clinical practice.
4th Roundtable of Longevity Clinics
“The Truth About Exosomes and Peptides: Facts and Fictions”
The Roundtable brings together longevity clinic leaders, physicians, diagnostics providers, technology companies, researchers, and investors to define what is scientific, what is working, and what the gold standards of longevity medicine should be.
A signature Dr. Smith session: separating scientific promise from exaggeration, while keeping an open mind about where regenerative and longevity medicine are headed.

A Communicator Across Worlds
Medical depth without losing the audience
Cell therapy, regenerative medicine, predictive analytics, health innovation, board leadership, biotechnology, prevention, and public health: Dr. Smith speaks fluently across all of them because she has worked inside those worlds, not just commented on them.
Training at Yale School of Medicine and Wharton, years leading NeoStem, an academic appointment at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, and decades of board and advisory work give her the depth to engage the most technical audiences.
Just as important is translation. Her books, interviews, and media appearances turn emerging science into ideas that patients, families, investors, policymakers, and philanthropists can act on.
Global Stages
A speaker shaped by extraordinary rooms
Dr. Smith has addressed audiences at the Future Investment Initiative, the Lake Nona Impact Forum, the Vatican, and leading scientific and health-innovation gatherings. Her media history includes appearances connected with Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, The View, and Bloomberg.
That range shows on stage: the rhythm of a keynote, the intimacy of a fireside, the precision of a scientific panel, and the clarity broadcast demands.
A network spanning physicians, scientists, investors, health-system leaders, global institutions, philanthropists, and faith leaders lets her connect disciplines, and place every breakthrough inside a larger story about health and society.

Service & Bridge-Building
Science, faith, culture, and service
In 2016, Pope Francis named Dr. Smith a Dame Commander with Star of the Pontifical Equestrian Order of Saint Sylvester, recognizing her work with the Vatican’s Science and Faith Foundation and her role in fostering dialogue between science, faith, and culture. In 2013, the Pontifical Council for Culture presented her with the Key Founders Award.
That range shapes her voice on stage. Comfortable with scientific complexity, she also takes on the bigger questions: how innovation affects people, how trust is earned, and how progress stays connected to human dignity.
