Construire un avenir avec plus de temps | Andy Lee | TEDxBoston Salon

Andy Lee, cofondateur de Vincere Biosciences, explique comment l'IA a contribué à identifier une approche pour restaurer la santé mitochondriale. Il retrace le chemin allant des prédictions informatiques vers un traitement potentiel de la maladie de Parkinson. L'intervention aborde aussi les défis liés à la démonstration de l'efficacité des nouveaux médicaments chez l'humain. Les opinions du conférencier sont personnelles et la recherche sur Parkinson reste en cours.

• Recherche assistée par IA d'approches pour la santé mitochondriale
• Des modèles informatiques vers un traitement potentiel de Parkinson
• Prouver l'efficacité des nouveaux médicaments chez l'humain

NOTE FROM TED: Research around Parkinson’s disease remains complex and an ongoing field of study. This talk represents the speaker's personal views and approach to longevity. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf What if the technologies transforming our world could also help us live longer, healthier lives? From writing his first computer programs at eight years old to using artificial intelligence to develop new medicines, Andy Lee has spent four decades exploring what computers can make possible. Together with his wife, neuroscientist Spring Behrouz, he co-founded Vincere Biosciences to tackle one of the great challenges of aging: why cells that function beautifully for decades eventually begin to fail. In this talk, Andy explores how AI helped uncover a promising approach to restoring mitochondrial health, the journey from computational predictions to a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease, and the challenges of proving that new medicines work in humans. But the bigger story isn't just about biotechnology. It's about a new era in which powerful tools are becoming accessible to more people—and what we might accomplish if we focus them on the problems that matter most. Because a future with more healthy time doesn't just happen. We build it. Andy Lee is a technology entrepreneur and co-founder of Vincere Biosciences, a biotechnology company developing therapies to restore mitochondrial quality control in neurodegenerative diseases and conditions associated with aging. With a background in computer science, AI, and computational biology, Andy has spent four decades building technologies to solve increasingly complex problems. Today, he works alongside his wife, neuroscientist Spring Behrouz, to bring AI-discovered medicines from computational models toward human clinical trials. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
