Ciara Angeli Juan’s DoNotAge Conference 2026 presentation sits at the intersection of exercise physiology, DNA damage, sirtuin signalling and quercetin research.
What the conference highlights establish
The official DoNotAge Conference 2026 highlights connect Juan’s presentation with acute exercise, SIRT1, quercetin and DNA-damage biology. A related Ulster University research record provides a more detailed scientific source for the study context.
The related Ulster research
Ulster University lists a preprint by Ciara Angeli Juan and colleagues examining quercetin during oxidative stress. The study used a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design in 13 apparently healthy male participants and combined acute high-intensity interval exercise with acute and 21-day quercetin supplementation at 1,000 mg/day.
The project assessed quercetin exposure alongside DNA-repair genes, SIRT1 and SIRT6, DNA-damage markers and glycomic measures. Because the university classifies the item as a working-paper preprint, it should not be presented as final peer-reviewed evidence.
What the evidence can and cannot establish
The available sources support that this research programme is investigating interactions among exercise, quercetin, DNA-damage markers and sirtuin-related signalling. They do not establish that quercetin reverses ageing, extends lifespan or produces the same result across every population, dose or finished supplement.

DoNotAge Conference 2026
DoNotAge Conference 2026 was held in London on September 26–27, 2026. The official highlights archive presents 12 2026 conversations spanning human trials, DNA repair, inflammation, muscle and exercise, replication and research funding, plus a 2025 conference recap.
Quercetin and DNA Repair After Hard Exercise
The presentation described a randomized, double-blind crossover study in 13 healthy men examining quercetin and exercise-induced DNA damage. The associated preprint investigates DNA-repair and sirtuin markers after acute and 21-day supplementation. This is a small biomarker study, not a demonstrated longevity outcome.
