Machine Learning from Big Bad Data in Medicine and Biology of Aging

by Prof. Leon Peshkin (Harvard Medical School & IHES)

Thursday Oct 21, 2021, 4:00 PM → 5:00 PM Europe/Paris

Amphithéâtre Léon Motchane (IHES)

In this seminar I will briefly review some success stories of Machine Learning applied to bio-medical domain up to date and speculate on what it will take to enable a much more substantial progress. I will specifically discuss Biology of Aging - the field which remains most promising and most fraudulent over the thousands of years in history of medical sciences. I will present my own work and suggest where theoretical approaches and modeling can make a big difference in a search for anti-aging and rejuvenating interventions.
