Presenters Joe Betts-LaCroix, CEO of Retro.bio Joe Betts-LaCroix began as a scientist at Harvard, MIT, and Caltech. He was part of a three-person team at Caltech that first elucidated the factors governing electron-tunneling rates in proteins, which is published in journals such as Science and JACS, with over 1000 citations so far. His first venture-funded… Continue reading Extracellular Matrix (Winner)
Presenter Yuri Deigin, Co-Founder of YouthBio Therapeutics I am a drug developer and longevity activist currently working on an epigenetic rejuvenation gene therapy via partial reprogramming by Yamanaka factors. Summary: Yuri Deigin, Co-Founder of YouthBio Therapeutics, finds it interesting that we still don’t know the genetic causes of different maturation rates between species. If we… Continue reading Yuri Deigin, Co-Founder of YouthBio Therapeutics | Figuring out Genes Responsible for Time to Sexual Maturity

Presenter Nikolina Lauc, CEO of Glycanage GlycanAge was founded on a promise that “health care” should start with us caring about our health before we encounter a particular problem. Disease starts on a molecular level decades before we are currently addressing it, while the majority of modern disease is preventable and the earliest molecular signal… Continue reading Nikolina Lauc, CEO of Glycanage | Multi Omics Clock Foundation
Presenter Morten Scheibye-Knudsen, Associate Professor at the Center for Healthy Aging at University of Copenhagen Aging is the largest risk factor for most diseases and damage to our genome is a likely cause of aging. My work focuses on exploring the physiological consequences of DNA damage and what we can do to intervene in genotoxic… Continue reading Morten Scheibye-Knudsen, Associate Professor at the Center for Healthy Aging at University of Copenhagen | How Do We Repair the Irreparable?
Presenter Leon Peshkin, Harvard Scientist I came into Systems Biology from the Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics background to inform computational methods with biological insight and help advance the state of probabilistic modeling and data analysis in biological medical research. My passion is understanding the root causes of aging and unlocking nature’s mechanism for longevity… Continue reading Leon Peshkin, Harvard Scientist | Preserving Research Across Hype Cycles
