Tue 19 Sep 17:30: Taking Rejuvenation to Longevity Escape Velocity
People are living longer – no longer because of reduced child mortality, but because we are postponing the ill-health of old age. But we’ve seen nothing yet: regenerative medicine and other new therapies will eventually be so comprehensive that people will stay truly youthful however long they live, which means they may mostly live very long indeed. Advances in this direction by my research teams and others have sharply accelerated in recent years, and at LEV Foundation we are combining them to identify a panel of interventions that promise to deliver the ultimate goal of biomedical gerontology: longevity escape velocity. I will discuss the latest results of this work, which is currently the world’s only study combining several rejuvenation interventions in middle-aged mice.

Thu 14 Sep 15:00: Visit and talk by Jay McClelland: "Some thoughts on the differences between human and machine intelligence"
We have a visitor Jay McClelland, from 3-5 pm on 14th September. He will give an informal presentation, during which he will raise some issues about what he sees as strengths and weaknesses in today’s AI systems and how he sees them differing from humans. After the visit to CBL , he will also give the CAIS Lecture 2023 from 18:30 – 21:00.
About the speaker
James L. (Jay) McClelland is a Cognitive Scientist who has used neural network models to explore the mechanisms of human and machine intelligence for nearly 50 years. In the late 1970’s he introduced a neural network model capturing the dynamics of activation flow through a neural network. He then teamed up with David Rumelhart, the inventor of the learning algorithm that powers today’s neural-network based language models and many other machine learning systems. Together they produced the two-volume work Parallel Distributed Processing (MIT Press, 1986) that kindled the second wave of neural network research beginning in the mid 1980’s. McClelland led the creation the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh in the 1990’s, then moved to Stanford University, where he led the creation of the Center for Mind, Brain and Computation in 2008. He is the Lucie Stern Professor in the Psychology Department at Stanford, and holds courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Linguistics, and he is currently a Consultant Research Scientist at Google DeepMind.

Thu 28 Sep 16:30: Establishing hPSC-derived Schwann cells for modeling metabolic disorders of the PNS
Homa completed here PhD here at the University of Cambridge in Prof. Edmund Kunji’s lab at MRC -Mitochondrial Biology Unit where she developed high-throughput methods for identification of mitochondrial carriers and other membrane transporters. She then moved to U.S. for her postdoctoral research in Dr. Faranak Fattahi’s lab at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where she has developed hPSC-derived models of human peripheral nervous system including the enteric nervous system for disease modeling and drug discovery. Homa’s postdoc research has earned fellowships from the NIH , Larry L. Hillblom foundation (LLHF), and Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research (PBBR).
