They have been linked to a diverse range of chronic diseases including diabetes\, cardiovascular disease\, most cancers\, dementia\, osteoarthritis\, osteoporosis\, and frailty. Treatments to clear senescent cells are widely expected to improve health more than most drugs in history. Last Salon\, we met Judy Campisi\, scientific co-founder of senescence startup Unity Biotech. Now\, Scientist and writer Dr. Heike Fuhrmann-Stroissnigg will show us a new view of senescent cells based on her work at Scripps and elsewhere. Who among us will found the next company in this area? Come join us at Hogan Lovells in Menlo Park for dinner\, drinks\, and data! \nDr. Heike-Fuhrmann-Stroissnigg\n\nDr. Heike Fuhrmann-Stroissnigg received her PhD in Cell Biology from the\nUniversity of Vienna\, Austria. She then worked in the BioSurgery Department\nat Baxter BioScience in Vienna\, Austria\, where she was heading a cell biology\nlab aiming to improve clinically relevant biocompatible tissue glues. After five\nyears in the pharmaceutical industry\, Dr. Fuhrmann-Stroissnigg joined the\nlaboratory of Dr. Paul Robbins in the Department of Metabolism and Aging at\nthe Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter\, Florida. There\, she developed a novel\nsenescent cell-based high throughput screening assay and identified several classes of senotherapeutic\ndrugs that are able to improve aging-related diseases. She recently moved to the San Francisco Bay area\nwhere she is currently a freelance scientific writer\, a science instructor as well as a consultant for a bay\narea based biotech start-up company. \n \nThe event is hosted at Hogan Lovells in Menlo Park who is sponsoring the event.

Listen to Prof Judith Campisi talk about these exciting developments and more! \nProf. Campisi’s research integrates the genetic\, environmental and evolutionary forces that result in age-related diseases\, and identifies potential therapeutic targets that can be modified to mitigate basic aging processes. Judy began her career by studying the causes of cancer. She soon realized that aging is the largest risk factor for developing this disease and that cellular senescence – which evolved to prevent cancer in young organisms – was an important contributor to late-life cancer. She is widely recognized for her work on senescent cells and their influence on many manifestations of aging. Her laboratory discovered the first biomarker for senescence\, which she used to identify senescent cells in human and rodent tissues and to show that these cells increase in number with age. Her laboratory also discovered that senescent cells can cause inflammation\, which disrupts normal tissue function and\, ironically\, drives the progression of cancer. \nThe event is hosted at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging\, an I.M. Pei designed facility\, located on Mt. Burdell in Novato. \n\n Early Bird Ticket\n $22.00 Original price was: $22.00.$19.00Current price is: $19.00.\n\n Sale!\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Student\n $10.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Angel\n $1\,000.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Super Supporter\n $50.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Benefactor\n $200.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Standard Ticket\n $25.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n0Weeks0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds\nSpread the WordShare on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare by Mail\nEmail Address * First Name Last Name \nEvent participants URL:http://healthextension.co/event/a-uniquely-successful-health-extension-start-up/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20170608T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20170608T170000 DTSTAMP:20260531T073120 CREATED:20170912T015923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170912T020418Z UID:6156-1496908800-1496941200@healthextension.co SUMMARY:Using Computers to Simulate Entire Cells DESCRIPTION:The Health Extension Foundation Presents: \nProf. Markus Covert of Stanford\n  \nSoftware is eating the world! To master our biology\, and thus aging/disease\, we need to understand biology\, but we are very far from that goal. Ultimately\, we should be able to model our entire physiology on a computer. The closest we’ve come to that is modeling just one cell. \nThat in itself was an impressive feat for our times. Come meet the man who accomplished this!\nProf Markus Covert obtained his PhD in Bioengineering/Bioinformatics from UCSD in 2003\, and is currently an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford. His focus is on building computational models of complex biological processes and using these models to guide an experimental program. Such an approach leads to a relatively rapid identification and validation of previously unknown components and interactions. Biological systems of interest include metabolic\, regulatory and signaling networks as well as cell-cell interactions. \nThe event is hosted at Playground Global\, the most exciting new VC and incubator for hardware startups. It’s impressive and beautiful interior houses some startups likely to become household names\, incredible million-dollar metal 3D printers\, and more! \nAll tickets include Dinner – see below for tickets\, location\, and schedule: \n\n Early Bird Ticket\n $22.00 Original price was: $22.00.$19.00Current price is: $19.00.\n\n Sale!\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Student\n $10.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Angel\n $1\,000.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Super Supporter\n $50.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Benefactor\n $200.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Standard Ticket\n $25.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n0Weeks0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds\nSpread the WordShare on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare by Mail\nEmail Address * First Name Last Name \nEvent participants URL:http://healthextension.co/event/using-computers-to-simulate-entire-cells/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20170318T050000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20170318T210000 DTSTAMP:20260531T073120 CREATED:20170912T015611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170912T015718Z UID:6152-1489813200-1489870800@healthextension.co SUMMARY:Brain circuit function and aging: Can we take back control? DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jin Hyung Lee \n \n\nThe Lee Lab uses interdisciplinary approaches from biology and engineering to analyze\, debug\, and manipulate systems-level brain circuits. They seek to understand the connectivity and function of these large-scale networks in order to drive the development of new therapies for neurological diseases. This research finds its basic building blocks in areas ranging from medical imaging and signal processing to genetics and molecular biology.\n \nThe Lee lab is interested in using new tools at the interface of neuroscience and engineering to directly visualize the function of brain circuits and quantify their dynamics. Current topics of interest include: \n\n\nStem cell integration \n\n\nAlzheimer’s Disease \n\n\nParkinson’s Disease \n\n\nEpilepsy and seizure networks \n\n\n  \nDr. Lee is a recipient of the 2010 NIH/NIBIB R00 Award\, the 2010 NIH Director’s New Innovator Award\, the 2010 Okawa Foundation Research Grant Award\, the 2011 NSF CAREER Award\, the 2012 Alfred P.

What is the best way to create a therapy from there? \nCome listen to Prof. Simon Melov from The Buck share his research on screening anti-aging compounds that have worked well in flies or worms\, and find out how well they are doing in mammals\, namely\, mice. \nSimon Melov is one of the founding faculty of the Institute\, and has been at the Buck since its doors opened in 1999. He has broad expertise in multiple domains and model systems of aging\, including C. elegans biology\, functional decline with age in mice\, the role of endogenous oxidative stress in the mitochondria\, exercise physiology and age-related disease. \nOver the last few years\, a key focus of the Melov lab has been to define what “aging” means in the context of different organ systems in aging mice\, and to use non-invasive techniques to quantitate and enumerate such functional changes. The end goal is to be able to relate age-related functional decline in mice to human aging. Other research interests include the development of molecular techniques to better understand how single cells change with age\, and then to use that understanding to elucidate how such changes impact tissue function.

Does donating blood cause more cellular replication? Reducing lifespan? \nCome listen to Prof. Emmanuelle Passegué from UCSF share her interesting research on blood stem cells and how they can age us. \nProf Passegué earned her PhD degree from the University Paris XI\, France and then performed two consecutive postdoctoral fellowships. She first trained as a mouse geneticist with Dr. Erwin Wagner at the Institute for Molecular pathology (IMP) in Vienna\, Austria\, and then as a stem cell biologist with Dr. Irv Weissman at Stanford University. She joined the UCSF faculty in 2006\, where she is currently a Professor in the Department of Medicine\, Division of Hematology Oncology with the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research. \nThe Passegué lab’s research focuses on understanding the general defense mechanisms used by hematopoietic (blood) stem cells (HSC) to protect blood production during the lifetime of an ever-changing organism. This fundamental question is central to tissue maintenance and regeneration\, and has implications for every aspect of adult physiology ranging from response to stress\, development of diseases and biology of aging. The lab is interested in identifying the mechanisms controlling HSC activity in normal and stress conditions\, and in understanding how they are affected during disease development and in physiological aging. Their goal is to identify affected genes and pathways that could be used to develop new therapies to treat human diseases and help combat aging. Current projects investigate the role of apoptosis\, autophagy\, immune regulations\, DNA repair mechanisms and changes in the bone marrow niche in HSC function.

He also teaches a class on “Current Issues in Aging”. His research focuses on unraveling the molecular and cellular mechanisms according to which telomeres and telomerase modulate stem cell function and carcinogenesis. \nProfessor Artandi and his lab also have an interest in Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) and Tissue Regeneration. This requires understanding how stem cells self-renew and differentiate and how TERT modulates stem cell function. One major limitation to this understanding is the inability to identify telomerase-positive cells in vivo. The Artandi lab has developed new approaches to solve this problem and are investigating telomerase-positive cells in vivo. \nYou can find a list of his publications here. \n\n Early Bird Ticket\n $22.00 Original price was: $22.00.$19.00Current price is: $19.00.\n\n Sale!\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Student\n $10.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Angel\n $1\,000.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Super Supporter\n $50.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Benefactor\n $200.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Standard Ticket\n $25.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n0Weeks0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds\nSpread the WordShare on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare by Mail\nEmail Address * First Name Last Name \nEvent participants URL:http://healthextension.co/event/telomeres-in-cancer-and-tissue-regeneration/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20140703T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20140703T210000 DTSTAMP:20260531T073120 CREATED:20170912T020620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170912T020742Z UID:6160-1404410400-1404421200@healthextension.co SUMMARY:Energetics and Human Aging DESCRIPTION:Join us for Dinner with Professor Greg Tranah\, from UCSF and CPMC.\nFrom mitochondrial origins to circadian rhythms: how DNA mutations\, cellular mechanisms and activity patterns influence longevity. \nAbout his work: \nFrom the CPMC: \nDr. Greg Tranah\, CPMCRI Scientist and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UCSF is among a select group of researchers in the U.S. uncovering how alterations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can lead to cognitive decline and dementia\, and how mitochondrial genetic variation plays a much greater role than once believed in neurodegeneration and age-related brain illnesses. \nFrom UCSF (see also a list of published papers here): \nHis current work involves the genetics of aging and age-related traits and he is engaged in research to discover the genes associated with longevity. \nAll tickets include Dinner – see below for tickets\, location and schedule: \n\n Early Bird Ticket\n $22.00 Original price was: $22.00.$19.00Current price is: $19.00.\n\n Sale!\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Student\n $10.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Angel\n $1\,000.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Super Supporter\n $50.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Benefactor\n $200.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n Standard Ticket\n $25.00\n Add to cart \n \n Show Details \n\n0Weeks0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds\nSpread the WordShare on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare by Mail\nEmail Address * First Name Last Name \nEvent participants URL:http://healthextension.co/event/energetics-and-human-aging/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
