Longevity2020 the First Global Online Longevity Conference

Next week Longevity experts from around the world will come together for the first worldwide online Longevity conference - Longevity2020. Scientists, investors, and CEOs will share the latest research, innovations, and opinions. The conference will run over 5 days and include presentations, fireside chats, and Q&A sessions. At the end of each session there will be ‘ask me anything’ sessions with speakers which provides a unique opportunity to network with the key players in the Longevity sector. To register for Longevity2020 please go to the Longevity Technology website.

On Wednesday we will kick off the AI for Longevity Program with a conversation with three scientists who are applying AI and big data analytics for healthy longevity. We will speak with John Shepherd, PhD, Richard Siow, PhD, and Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD.

John Shepherd PhD is Co-Founder and Principal Investigator of the AI Precision Health Institute (AI-PHI) at the University?of Hawai‘i Cancer Center. Dr. Shepherd and his team are using AI and machine learning to quantify human health and predict risk of disease. Dr. Shepherd will discuss how he and his team use AI to analyze body composition to predict risk of disease, fractures, and frailty. The AI-PHI is conducting population based and laboratory based research to determine how ethnic, cultural, and environmental factors impact human health. Since Hawai‘i has one of the most diverse populations in the world, it's an ideal place to study how genetic susceptibility interacts with environmental factors to impact health. Research conducted at the AI-PHI is unique and can only been done in Hawai‘i because Hawai‘i has the longest life expectancy and the most ethnic diversity of any state in the US.

We will discuss how AI is used in medical imaging and stem cell biology with Richard Siow PhD, Director of Ageing Research at Kings College London. AI for Longevity is an underrepresented sector in the Longevity Industry despite having more potential to increase Healthy Longevity in the short term than any other sector.?

The Longevity AI Consortium is based at King's College London.

We will also speak with Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, CEO of?Insilico Medicine and chief scientist of the Biogerontology Research Foundation. Insilico Medicine is applying the latest advances in AI to drug discovery, biomarker development, and aging research.
