Alex Zhavoronkov is a scientist working in biotechnology, regenerative medicine and aging economics. He is founder of Insilico Medicine, the director of the Biogerontology Research Foundation, a UK-based think-tank for aging research, and the director of the International Aging Research Portfolio, an open-access repository of biomedical grants. He is also an adjunct professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.[1]
Education[править]
Zhavoronkov earned two bachelor's degrees at Queen's University in computer science and commerce. He has a master's in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University and a PhD in physics and mathematics from Moscow State University.[2]
Career[править]
He is the co-founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine, a deep learning company focused on drug discovery[3] and biomarker development for aging and aging-associated diseases located at the Emerging Technology Centers of the Johns Hopkins University.[4][5]
Since 2011, Dr. Zhavoronkov authored and co-authored over 108 scientific articles published in refereed journals[6] with over 85 papers referenced in PubMed.[7] Many of the highest-impact research papers focus on the applications of deep learning techniques to drug discovery, biomarker development, and aging research.[8]
In November 2017 together with the collaborators from the BitFury Group he proposed the application of the deep learning techniques and blockchain technology for managing human life data[9], [10], [11],[12] and presented the concept at the Singularity University Exponential Medicine conference in San Diego.[13][14]
Dr. Zhavoronkov is the editor of Aging[15] and associate editor of Frontiers in Genetics of Aging.[16] He co-founded the "Annual Aging Research for Drug Discovery Forum" in Basel, Switzerland in 2014, previously called the International Symposium on Geroprotectors [17] as part of the EMBO/Basel Life.[18]
