IHMC's Dr. Marcas Bamman has received a $7.7 million award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a clinical trial to determine how people age 60 and older attain the health benefits of exercise. “Exercise is a potent treatment with promise to mitigate most aging hallmarks, but there is substantial variability in individual exercise responsiveness,” Bamman says. “This project will help us begin to understand what underlies those differences in responsiveness.” The trial will combine endurance and resistance training in alignment with public health guidelines to better understand variable exercise responsiveness in older adults with the goal of improving each older adult’s capacity to attain the many health benefits of exercise. https://lnkd.in/eJCxkw55

About us
IHMC is a not-for-profit research institute of the Florida University System and is affiliated with several Florida universities and research centers. Researchers at IHMC pioneer technologies aimed at leveraging and extending human capabilities. Our human-centered approach often results in systems that can be regarded as cognitive or perceptual prostheses, much as eyeglasses are a sort of ocular prosthesis. These systems fit the human and machine components together in ways that exploit their respective strengths and mitigate their respective weaknesses. The design and fit of computational prostheses require a broader interdisciplinary range than is typically found in one organization, thus IHMC staff includes computer scientists, cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, physicians, philosophers, engineers and social scientists of various stripes, as well as some people who resist all attempts to classify them

Dr. Anurag Singh has spent his career using research to unlock a better treatment path for the chronic diseases that dominated his early medical practice. “I felt I was blindly treating the symptomology of these chronic diseases (cancer, diabetes), and it gave rise to the question, ‘What if we could intervene earlier?’” Singh says. The journey to answer that question led him to his role as chief medical officer at Timeline Nutrition, a Swiss life-science company focused on improving mitochondrial and cellular health. Singh, who has a medical degree in internal medicine and a Ph.D. in immunology, is our guest for the latest episode of STEM-Talk, available now wherever you listen to podcasts. He is known for his research into the gut metabolite Urolithin A, which has been shown to improve muscle quality, protect immune systems, and optimize mitochondrial efficiency. This compound is produced by gut bacteria from metabolizing ellagitannins and ellagic acid, which are found in foods such as pomegranates, red and black berries, walnuts, pecans — and even Iberian ham.

Some of our recent work has focused on the development of high-speed, high-power VR teleoperation. This has involved significant and fantastic efforts from Luigi Penco, Sylvain Bertrand, Dexton Anderson, and many, many others on the team, and has resulted in some pretty cool videos! It's also an essential step towards the development of humanoid avatars, which are applicable for everything from disaster response to entertainment. https://lnkd.in/gm6cV4Xq If you're interested in how we did this, I'm pleased to share a preprint that will appear in the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Humanoid Robotics https://lnkd.in/gXjug-_x

Few people know as much about inflammation and neuroscience as Dr. Kevin Tracey does. So how does he explain what inflammation — whose identification can be traced to the time of Galen — means to human health? “Every year, 60 million people die on Earth,” he says. “Two-thirds of them — 40 million people — die of a disease caused or made worse by inflammation.” That’s why he sees inflammation as “the single major threat to long healthspan because it contributes to the major killers and major unsolved diseases on the planet.” In the latest episode of STEM-Talk, available now wherever you listen to podcasts, we learn much from Tracey, who was the first to identify the inflammatory reflex, a physiological mechanism that regulates the body’s immune response to injury and invasion. https://lnkd.in/e3H9yzkk

We were thrilled for the chance to host a live remote broadcast with 1370 WCOA this week. Thank you Rick Outzen and crew for spending the morning with us and for sharing some airtime with Dr. Marcas Bamman, Dr. Gwen Bryan, and Dr. Jeff Phillips. If you missed us live, you can listen in here. https://lnkd.in/eTbKae9d
