Vadim Gladyshev to present at the 6th Aging Research for Drug Discovery Forum in Basel

Vadim Gladyshev, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, to present at the 6th Aging Research for Drug Discovery Forum in Basel, Switzerland


Thursday, May 23, 2019 - Today Insilico Medicine, a biotechnology company developing the end-to-end drug discovery pipeline utilizing the next generation artificial intelligence, and the Scheibye-Knudsen LabUniversity of Copenhagen, announce the presentation of Vadim Gladyshev, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, at the 6th Aging Research, Drug Discovery, and AI Forum during the Basel Life Congress, September 10-12, 2019, Basel, Switzerland.
The rate of aging varies significantly across species and cell types and is further modified by genetic and environmental factors. This diversity sheds light on general principles and mechanisms of lifespan control, and they can be studied by applying comparative genomics approaches to short- and long-lived species and carrying out analyses across panels of mammals. 
The scientists at the Dr. Gladyshev's lab sequenced the genomes of several mammals with exceptional lifespan and identified genes that may contribute to their longevity. They also carried out analyses of gene expression, metabolites and elements across large panels of mammals. 
The presentation will focus on the results of these studies, pointing to both lineage-specific and common adaptations to longevity and identifying signatures, that characterize species lifespan and the effects of interventions that adjust lifespan within species. Using these signatures, one may identify new pharmacological, dietary and genetic interventions with the potential to increase lifespan. To characterize longevity interventions in mice, blood and multi-tissue DNA methylation clocks were developed as well. Together, these genomics approaches and tools offer a platform for unbiased discovery and validation of longevity interventions in mammals. 
"There will be an immediate and broad impact in the field, if an intervention is proven to extend human lifespan. Studies on model organisms can guide us in finding the best ways to extend human lifespan," said Vadim Gladyshev, Professor of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
"It is a great pleasure that Professor Vadim Gladyshev is joining us in Basel. Professor Gladyshev is at the forefront of redox biology and aging, two fields that are merging in the context of healthy longevity. Recently, he has pioneered cross species investigations into aging allowing us to identify new potential targets for healthy aging. I am therefore extremely grateful that Professor Gladyshev will visit us in Basel, " said Morten Scheibye-Knudsen, MD, Ph.D., University of Copenhagen.
"Over the last 5 years, the "Aging & Drug Discovery" and "AI for Healthcare" forums have been leading events at BaselLife, attracting hundreds of delegates from over 50 countries. This year, we are combining the 2 platforms into a 3 day-event titled "the 6th Aging, AI and Drug Discovery Forum" to explore the convergence of these 2 cutting edge disciplines. Under the program leadership of Professor Morten Scheibye-Knudsen and Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov, with distinguished scientists and industry experts in the field, we look forward to exploring breakthroughs for this great healthcare need for the planet," said Dr. Bhupinder Bhullar, Chair, Innovation Forum program committee, Basel Life 2019. 
"The 6th annual Aging Research, Drug Discovery, and AI Forum at Basel Life will have a fresh program featuring some of the most prominent scientists and industry players in aging and longevity research covering the theory, applications and convergence of these three exciting areas," said Alex Zhavoronkov, Ph.D., Founder, and CEO of Insilico Medicine, Inc.
The 6th Aging Research for Drug Discovery Forum Basel will bring together leaders in the aging, longevity, and drug discovery field, to describe the latest progress in the molecular, cellular and organismal basis of aging and the search for interventions. Furthermore, the forum will include opinion leaders in AI to discuss the latest advances of this technology in the biopharmaceutical sector and how this can be applied to interventions. This event intends to bridge academic and commercial research and foster collaborations that will result in practical solutions to one of humanity's most challenging problems: aging. The Forum will be held in Basel, Switzerland, September 10-12, 2019.

About the Scheibye-Knudsen Laboratory
The growing proportion of the elderly population represents an increasing socioeconomic challenge, not least because of age-associated diseases. It is therefore increasingly pertinent to find interventions for age-associated diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and cardiovascular diseases. Although the cause of aging is currently unknown accumulation of damage to our genome, the DNA, may be a contributing factor.
In the Scheibye-Knudsen lab we try to understand the cellular and organismal consequences of DNA damage with the aim of developing interventions. We have discovered that DNA damage leads to changes in certain metabolites and that replenishment of these molecules may alter the rate of aging in model organisms. These findings suggest that normal aging and age-associated diseases may be malleable to similar interventions. The hope is to develop interventions that will allow everyone to live healthier, happier and more productive lives.

Artificial intelligence techniques help to make great contribution to the pharma industry in Africa, as well as tackle more local health challenges while creating more employment opportunities for the many scientists who could be employed to work towards better and more affordable healthcare solutions for all.
The presentation will cover the latest advances in artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies that accelerate the biomedical research and enable patients to control and benefit from their medical data, that might serve as an incentive to undergo constant health monitoring in Africa.
"We are happy to present our latest research at the 2019 Africa Health Conference, which gathers the leading industry leaders. The topic of artificial intelligence in healthcare is extremely important for the countries located in Africa, and we are happy to be at the leading edge of this research and one of the innovation drivers in the area," said Iraneus Ogu, Africa AI, Blockchain and Longevity Consultant at Insilico Medicine.
Africa Health is the largest gathering of healthcare companies, technology, products and services in the continent. Taking place from 28 - 30 of May 2019, the event is expected to welcome more than 560 exhibiting companies and 10,500 attendees from more than 40 countries.
