From Synthetic Life to Human Longevity
Dr. Brad Perkins, MD

 

Science has made remarkable progress in establishing DNA as the software of life. The question now is how rapidly can this progress be translated into extending high performance human longevity? This talk will address why the confluence of decreased DNA sequencing costs, cloud-based computational platforms, machine learning, and focus on value-based health care have created a new opportunity to revolutionize human health and the practice of medicine. Human Longevity, Inc., has established the Health Nucleus as prototype for the future of health and health care as an offering for high net worth individuals combining genomics with advanced 3D/4D imaging to prevent pre-mature mortality and extend our species-defined life expectancy. These efforts and others focused on cancer have the potential to rapidly alter the life insurance industry by providing partnership opportunities to create and offer post issuance life insurance products that extend life.
