Presenter Wanding Zhou, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Dr. Wanding Zhou’s central research interest is to understand tissue heterogeneity, stem cell homeostasis, and cellular aging using genomics, epigenetics, and advanced informatics. He is currently working on developing informatics for DNA methylation assays, including Infinium DNA methylation microarray, bisulfite-sequencing, and single-molecule, long-read sequencing-based technologies. Summary: The Infinium… Continue reading Wanding Zhou | Updated Infinium BeadChips for delineating DNA methylation dynamics in large cohorts
Presenter Owen Phillips, BrainKey I created BrainKey to quantify brain health and align patients with the right treatment. My own mother has had a treatable version of dementia that should have been identified and treated years ago. But it was missed, and her outcome is worse for it. I founded BrainKey to create a powerful… Continue reading Owen Phillips | Brain Aging is the Key to Longevity
