Countdown for a Cure Partners with Dr. Taz Bhatia M.D. and hol+ to Advance Mitochondrial Research and Awareness

ATLANTA, Jan. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Dr. Taz Bhatia M.D., a nationally recognized integrative medicine physician, author, and founder of hol+, has partnered with nonprofit Countdown for a Cure (CFAC) to help advance awareness, education, and funding for mitochondrial research. As part of this collaboration, Dr. Taz will serve as Host of CFAC’s 2026 Evening of Energy Gala, taking place on February 7th, 2026, at The St. Regis Atlanta.

The partnership marks the beginning of a longer–term collaboration rooted in a shared belief that cellular health, and specifically mitochondrial function, is foundational to energy, resilience, and long–term vitality, yet remains one of the most underfunded and under–understood areas of human health.

“We know mitochondria are essential to how we feel, heal, and age — they power how we show up in daily life,” said Dr. Taz. “When energy begins to decline, it’s often the earliest and most overlooked precursor to many chronic diseases we see today. That gap between what we know and what’s possible is where research matters most. I’m honored to host the Evening of Energy Gala and to partner with Countdown for a Cure in supporting the science that will shape the future of prevention, longevity, and root–cause medicine.”

Countdown for a Cure is the only nonprofit dedicated to advancing broad mitochondrial research with applications across rare disease, chronic illness, disease prevention, treatment, longevity, and regenerative health. Grounded in the science of cellular energy, CFAC funds and accelerates research designed not only to advance discovery, but to translate mitochondrial science into real–world clinical and consumer applications, shaping the next generation of diagnostics, precision medicine, and whole–body health. Its work is guided by a Scientific and Medical Advisory Board and Executive Committee comprised of leading physicians, biomedical scientists, clinical geneticists, metabolic and mitochondrial disease researchers, longevity and systems biology experts, and technology innovators advancing AI–driven biological discovery.

“Dr. Taz brings a rare ability to translate complex science into meaningful, real–world understanding,” said Mitzi Solomon, Co–Founder and President of Countdown for a Cure. “Her voice, platform, and curiosity align deeply with our mission. Having her host the Evening of Energy Gala is not just an honor, it’s a powerful opportunity to broaden awareness and invite more people into this important work.”

As recently highlighted in a feature by USA Today, Dr. Taz has reimagined the future of health with the launch of hol+. This new functional medical home combines the best of eastern and western medicine to create a one stop shop for primary and consultative care, utilizing a holistic approach. Through this partnership, CFAC and hol+ will collaborate on educational content, storytelling, and community engagement that connect everyday experiences—energy levels, metabolic health, stress resilience, and healthy aging—to what’s happening inside our cells. The collaboration will also elevate women’s health as a critical and historically underfunded area of medicine, exploring key life stages such as puberty, reproductive and ovarian aging, and menopause, as well as age–related chronic disease, through a mitochondrial lens. Together, the partnership aims to inspire both individual action and collective investment in the research shaping tomorrow’s health landscape.

About Countdown For A Cure
Countdown For A Cure is the only nonprofit dedicated to accelerating broad mitochondrial science and medicine. The organization funds innovative research, elevates awareness of mitochondrial dysfunction as a critically overlooked driver of disease, and works to bring mitochondrial health out of the shadows and into everyday conversations about vitality, resilience, and longevity. Guided by the belief that Energy Is Everything, Countdown For A Cure is building a movement to transform preventive care and improve healthspan for today and for generations to come.

About the Evening of Energy Gala
The Evening of Energy Gala at The St. Regis Atlanta on February 7th, 2026, is Countdown For A Cure’s signature annual fundraising event, bringing together leaders in science, medicine, biotech, corporate and organizational leadership, philanthropy, entertainment, and wellness for an unforgettable night of purpose and impact. The 2026 gala marks the organization’s third annual event and will spotlight groundbreaking research, inspiring stories, and performances that celebrate the power of cellular energy to change lives.

About Dr. Taz Bhatia, M.D. and hol+
Dr. Tasneem “Dr. Taz” Bhatia MD—known nationally as Dr. Taz—is a leading physician, media personality, entrepreneur, and visionary founder whose work is reshaping how families across America understand and access holistic, evidence and systems–based healthcare. As host of the acclaimed hol+ podcast show and CEO of the rapidly expanding hol+™ health ecosystem, Dr. Taz has built one of the most influential, trusted, and far–reaching platforms in medicine today.

Pakistan Launches Indus AI Week 2026 to Advance National AI Adoption

Islamabad, Pakistan, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, today announced the launch of Indus AI Week 2026, a flagship national initiative on artificial intelligence, scheduled to take place from 9 to 15 February 2026.

Indus AI Week 2026 positions Pakistan as a country committed to advancing artificial intelligence at scale. The initiative is designed to bring together government, industry, academia, startups, and the wider ecosystem to strengthen awareness, build capability, encourage responsible adoption, and support practical engagement across sectors.

Organised by the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication through a public–private partnership, Indus AI Week is conceived as an open, inclusive, week–long national platform for AI learning, exploration, and participation. The initiative will convene policymakers, technology leaders, enterprises, universities, startups, students, and the general public in Islamabad and across Pakistan. 

The programme will feature a national technology showcase; innovation and startup spotlights connecting founders with investors; skills training and certification opportunities for students and professionals; a gaming and experiential AI arena; and interactive public engagement activities. Together, these elements are intended to demystify artificial intelligence, broaden access, and translate AI conversations into hands–on learning, adoption, and collaboration across society.

Announcing the initiative, Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja said:

“With the introduction of Pakistan’s National AI Policy last year, we laid the foundation for responsible and inclusive AI development. Indus AI Week reflects our determination to take that work further by moving beyond dialogue and toward adoption. By connecting policy, industry, and talent, this initiative positions Pakistan as a credible participant in the global AI ecosystem. We invite international partners, investors, and innovators to engage with Pakistan’s growing AI landscape.”

The week will open with the Indus AI Summit at the Jinnah Convention Center, Islamabad, on 9 February, followed by the Innovation, Learning and Engagement Arena at the Islamabad Sports Complex on 9–10 February. From 9 to 15 February, universities, companies, public institutions, and ecosystem partners across the country will host co–branded AI activities under the Indus AI Week banner.

منتجع بورغنستوك بحيرة لوسيرن يبرز التميز والريادة السويسرية في معرض قطر الدولي للسياحة والسفر 2025

الدوحة، قطر, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

اختتم منتجع بورغنستوك بحيرة لوسيرن مشاركته الناجحة في نسخة عام 2025 من  معرض قطر الدولي للسياحة والسفر، الذي أُقيم خلال الفترة من 24 إلى 26 نوفمبر، مؤكداً مكانته كإحدى أكثر الوجهات السويسرية الفاخرة طلباً لدى المسافرين من دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي، الباحثين عن الخصوصية والطبيعة وتجارب السفر المتنوعة

وخلال أيام المعرض الثلاثة، مثّل المنتجع في الدوحة كلٌّ من المدير العام كريس ك. فرانزن ومدير الفندق دومينيك شتالدر، حيث التقيا بشركاء السفر ووسائل الإعلام وقادة القطاع، لمناقشة تطوّر منتجع بورغنستوك تحت قيادتهما، ليس فقط من حيث الحفاظ على الإرث السويسري العريق، بل أيضاً في صياغة نموذج حديث للفخامة يتماشى بشكل متزايد مع تفضيلات المسافرين من منطقة الخليج

وتؤكد مشاركة منتجع بورغنستوك في معرض QTM التزامه بتعزيز الشراكات الإقليمية وتطوير تجارب ضيوف مصممة خصيصاً لسوق دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي. وقد استعرض فرانزن وشتالدر كيف يواصل المنتجع توسيع عروضه لضيوف المنطقة، بما يشمل تجارب طعام راقية تراعي متطلبات الضيوف الحريصين على الحلال، ورحلات عافية أكثر تركيزاً من خلال سبا الألب، إلى جانب تعزيز خدمات الضيافة المخصصة للإقامات العائلية الممتدة

وكجزء من فعاليات المعرض، شارك فرانزن وشتالدر أيضاً كمتحدثين رسميين في جلسات حوارية ضمن برنامج QTM 2025. فقد تناولت الجلسة المعنونة «الفعاليات الكبرى: محفّز للتقدم أم استعراض مكلف؟» الإرث طويل الأمد للفعاليات واسعة النطاق وتأثيرها على قطاع السياحة، حيث عكست مشاركة فرانزن الدور المتنامي لمنتجع بورغنستوك ليس فقط كملاذ فاخر، بل أيضاً كمركز للحوار العالمي والرؤى الاستراتيجية في السياحة. ومن جانبه، شارك شتالدر، بخبرته الواسعة في قطاع المأكولات والمشروبات، في جلسة «نكهات التراث: فن الطهي كجسر للتبادل الثقافي ومحرك للتغيير»، متناولاً موضوعات الطعام كأداة للدبلوماسية الثقافية، والتراث السويسري في فنون الطهي ضمن سياق عالمي، والاستدامة من خلال المطبخ

ويُعد موسم الشتاء من أقوى فترات السفر من منطقة الخليج إلى سويسرا، ويواصل منتجع بورغنستوك تسجيل نمو سنوي متزايد في أعداد الزوار من المنطقة. إذ يختاره المسافرون من العائلات والأزواج وضيوف الإقامات الطويلة لما يوفره من فخامة راقية تتسم بالخصوصية، وبيئة عافية حصرية، وسهولة الوصول عبر أبرز البوابات الجوية الدولية. وقد عكس معرض QTM 2025 هذا الزخم، ليشكّل في آنٍ واحد دعوة للمسافرين المستقبليين وأساساً لتعزيز الشراكات الإقليمية، مع دخول المنتجع إحدى أكثر فترات الحجز نشاطاً خلال العام

Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne Showcases Swiss Excellence and Leadership at Qatar International Exhibition for Travel & Tourism (QTM) 2025

DOHA, Qatar, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne concluded a successful participation in the 2025 edition of Qatar International Exhibition for Travel & Tourism that took place from November 24th to 26th, reinforcing its position as one of Switzerland’s most desired luxury destinations for GCC travellers seeking privacy, nature, and multifaceted travel experiences.

Across the three–day event, Managing Director Chris K. Franzen together with Hotel Manager Dominik Stalder represented the resort on–ground in Doha, meeting travel partners, media and industry leaders to discuss how Bürgenstock Resort is evolving under their leadership – not only preserving Swiss heritage, but also shaping a modern luxury model increasingly aligned with the preferences of Gulf travellers.

Bürgenstock Resort’s presence at QTM underscores its commitment to deepening regional partnerships and enhancing GCC focused guest experiences. Franzen and Stalder reflected on how the resort continues to expand its offering for GCC guests including elevated dining experiences suitable for halal–sensitive guests, more wellness–focused journeys through the Alpine Spa, and enhanced hospitality for extended family stays.

As part of the exhibition, Franzen and Stalder also took the stage as official panel speakers at QTM 2025. The panel titled “(Mega) Events: Catalyst for Progress or Costly Spectacle?” explored the long–term legacy of large–scale events and their impact on tourism. Franzen’s participation reflected Bürgenstock Resort’s growing role not only as a luxury retreat, but as a hub for global dialogue and strategic tourism insight. Stalder, with his strong F&B background, shared the resort’s insights during the panel “Flavors of heritage: Gastronomy as a bridge for intercultural exchange and a driver for change” and reflected on the topics of food as cultural diplomacy, Swiss culinary heritage in a global context and sustainability on a plate.

The winter season remains one of the strongest travel periods from the Gulf into Switzerland, and Bürgenstock Resort continues to experience year–on–year growth from the region. Families, couples and long–stay travellers increasingly choose the resort for its discreet luxury, private wellness environment, and ease of access through major international gateways. QTM 2025 reflected that momentum, acting as both an invitation to future travellers and a foundation for stronger partnerships across the region as the resort enters one of its most active booking periods.
