Join Prof. Ronjon Nag (of Stanford University and R42 Group) for an accessible, fast-moving tour of the most important technology approaches in longevity today. We’ll also explore the companies investing heavily to turn these ideas into real-world therapies and tools. Prof. Nag works at the intersection of AI and biology and teaches on topics that include longevity science and venture capital.
This program is designed for a broad audience: the curious public, students, technologists, investors, clinicians, and anyone trying to understand what’s real, what’s hype, and what breakthroughs could plausibly shift how we age over the next decade.
