There are several scientists that are now convinced upon the idea that while aging is a natural occurrence that happens in all creatures, it is, in fact, a disease that can be treated or cured. In that regards, there are some scientists out there looking to slow down the process of aging, while others are looking to stop it all together. <\/p>\n
Some of these ideas have been spurred on by the development of certain technologies, such as combining stem cells with genetic and cellular manipulation. Researchers have also been looking into the rejuvenating effects of proteins that are found in human blood, while others suggest using bacteria to ward off old age. <\/p>\n
Alex Zhavoronkov is director of both the International Aging Research Portfolio (IARP) and the Biogerontology Research Foundation and the CEO of bioinformatics company, Insilico Medicine and he has a different idea altogether. His idea focuses on using artificial intelligence (AI) to defeat aging and age-related illnesses. I think that applying AI to aging is the only way to bring it under the comprehensive medical control, says Zhavoronkov. Our long-term goal is to continuously improve human performance and prevent and cure the age-related diseases. <\/p>\n
As part of his ongoing research Zhavoronkov intends to build a comprehensive system that will model and monitor the human health status and quickly fix any deviations via lifestyle changes or therapy. But, its not going to happen overnight and realistically its probably going to be around 5 years before its fully complete. AI also plays an important role in facilitating the manufacture of certain drugs; some of which could treat aging or age-related diseases. <\/p>\n
Our AI ecosystem is comprised of multiple pipelines, explained Zhavoronkov. With our drug discovery and biomarker development pipelines, we can go after almost every disease [] And since we are considering aging as a form of a disease, many of the same algorithms are used to develop biomarkers and drugs to prevent and possibly even restore the aging-associated damage. <\/p>\n
