Past events:
Dr. Peshkin
Abstract: In this presentation, Dr. Leonid Peshkin will critically examine the pervasive challenges in contemporary longevity research, with a focus on the absence of universally accepted standards for conducting and reporting experimental studies. The inconsistencies in lifespan data across different research endeavors frequently result in ambiguous conclusions regarding the efficacy of various aging interventions.
Dr. Peshkin will highlight the problematic variability wherein experimental animals in one study may exhibit lifespans comparable to control animals in another study. This variability is compounded by often insufficiently detailed descriptions of experimental conditions, which impedes accurate assessment and replication of research findings.
Dr. Furman
Talk Title: The Time Machine: Where Physics and Biology Converge to Change the Course of Aging
Abstract: Research from NASA and the European Space Agency have demonstrated accelerated biological aging as a result of spaceflight. These effects on the human body are largely attributed to microgravity. Cosmica Biosciences, an early-stage Buck Institute spinoff based in San Francisco CA, utilizes cutting-edge technological platforms that simulate microgravity on Earth to accelerate biological aging of cells and organoid systems and help screen for compounds with anti-aging and disease-reversing properties. Cosmica additionally uses simulated microgravity in their ‘Older Twin’ technology, which enables the accurate prediction of future aging biology in an individual with applications in precision longevity medicine.
Dr. Headley
Abstract: Harnessing mitochondrial transplantation to increase health-span: Similar to replacing an old engine in a car, my research is geared toward understanding and optimizing Mitochondrial transplantation for sustained cellular health during aging.
