Asia Genomics to Present Population-Specific Deep-Learned Biomarkers of Aging in Basel
Singapore (PRWEB) September 19, 2016 -- Asia Genomics, the Asian leader in genomics-enabled healthcare and wellness provider today announced that the CEO, Dr. Mun-Yew Wong will present on latest advances in artificially-intelligent biomarker development at the 3rd International Annual Aging Research for Drug Discovery Forum during the Basel Life Science Week in Switzerland.
"Aging is a complex multifactorial process leading to disease and disability. And while multiple research studies demonstrate life extension in animals, tracking the effectiveness of these interventions in a minimally-invasive way is extremely difficult and require novel artificially-intelligent approaches to track the most important aging biomarkers. We are developing a range of actionable biomarkers specific to the Asian population, using various tools that include machine learning. We are happy to report on our early progress at the Basel Life Science Week, one of the largest European drug discovery conferences", said Dr Mun-Yew Wong, M.D, CEO of Asia Genomics.
The 3rd Annual International Aging Research for Drug Discovery Forum is one of the main scientific events of the Basel Life Science Week, where thousands of experts in drug discovery and biomarker development convene annually to present, network and exhibit.
The event will transpire from 21st to 22nd of September in Basel:
