Aging under threat: Milena Georgieva on science, AI and aging in Manager magazine
How are science and artificial intelligence trying to slow the biological clock?
Prof. Milena Georgieva, Epix AI’s Chief Scientific Officer, wrote for Manager magazine about the links between biological aging, science and AI. Her article, “Aging under threat: how are science and artificial intelligence trying to stop the biological clock?”, surveys how genetics, epigenetics and biotechnology are changing our understanding of aging.
She traces the shift in thinking since the Human Genome Project, with a focus on epigenetics, and separates chronological age from biological age — showing how strongly environment and lifestyle shape the latter.
Epix AI is developing precise biological age clocks that combine epigenetic data, lifestyle tracking and AI, with the aim of identifying the epigenetic triggers behind aging and age-related disease.
Prof. Georgieva ends on an optimistic note: personalised medicine, and a better understanding of how our genes interact with the environment, could help future generations rethink aging altogether.
