Step into the cutting-edge world of science with AuraSci Meets Aubrey De Grey: Decentralizing Science For Future People. AuraSci is thrilled to host a dynamic live stream event featuring Dr. Aubrey De Grey, a trailblazer in the field of aging research and biotechnology.
Join us as we delve into the intersection of longevity and decentralized science (DeSci), a rapidly evolving landscape where collaboration and open-source approaches are unlocking new possibilities. This session is poised to ignite discussions around how DeSci is revolutionizing scientific research, offering fresh perspectives on aging, health, and human potential.
Event Highlights✨
Journey with Dr. Aubrey De Grey: Discover the landmarks of Dr. De Grey's extraordinary career and how his pioneering work is reshaping our understanding of aging.
The DeSci Revolution: Exploring the concept and impact of decentralizing science in future research.
The Power of Collaboration: Explore how the convergence of diverse scientific fields under the DeSci model is accelerating breakthroughs in longevity research.
Our Speakers 🎤
Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based in Silicon Valley, California, USA, and is the founder, President and Chief Science Officer of LEV Foundation, a biomedical research and advocacy charity focused on repairing the molecular and cellular damage of aging. He received his BA in computer science and Ph.D. in biology from the University of Cambridge. His research interests encompass the characterisation of all the types of damage that constitute mammalian aging and the design of interventions to repair and/or obviate that damage. Dr. de Grey is a Fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the American Aging Association, and sits on the editorial and scientific advisory boards of numerous journals and organisations. He is a highly sought-after speaker who gives frequent invited talks at scientific conferences, universities, companies in areas ranging from pharma to life insurance, and to the public.
Gunner is a biotech focused venture capital analyst at BOLD Longevity Growth Fund & Longevity Vision Fund with experience in banking, biotech/medtech start-up advisory, and genetics research. His background also extends into academic research in genomics and bioinformatics (MSc in Life Sciences & MSc in Finance and Economics)
Previously, he worked in banking at BofA Merrill Lynch, World Bank, and the EBRD focusing on private company investments covering origination, structuring, execution, and implementation.
He was formerly an Analyst at Conscience VC, a seed-stage venture capital fund investing across biotech, health, and wellness. Additionally, he spent some time with VITA DAO’s deal flow working group, a longevity-focused research organization funding emerging research in combatting aging. Currently, he and a small team are developing a biotech startup and DAO to be launched later this year that will utilise AI systems to better analyze ambitious biotech projects (particularly early stage startups and research projects) to quantify the underlying scientific support for drug designs and strategies.
