BGRF is excited to report that its chief science officer, professor Alexander Zhavoronkov -- also the CEO of Insilico Medicine, an AI company in Baltimore focused on drug discovery and drug repurposing for age-related disease, and author of the Ageless Generation: How Advances in Biomedicine Will Transform the Global Economy -- will give a talk at Pioneers18, taking place from May 24-25, Hofburg Imperial Palace, Vienna.
'Pioneers' is an annual conference with a focus on deep tech and frontier tech, hosted by Pioneers.io. The Pioneers conferences serve as a meeting point where 2500 tech founders, innovation executives, investors and journalists meet to shape the future.
This makes it a particularly apt venue for Zhavoronkov, who will be able to share his projections for how AI is set to revolutionize biopharma for aging, biomarker discovery and drug discovery, a prospect he has written about extensively in recent years.
