Today marks the beginning of the 11th Annual Aging Research & Drug Discovery Meeting (ARDD), hosted for the second consecutive year by the University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet). This year, the event has reached full capacity, including all sponsorship tiers—an achievement that the LBA is proud to be a part of, both as a sponsor and as a board member supporting the event and organizing side activities. Over the next five days, more than 180 leading experts from around the world will share their insights. These speakers represent the forefront of pharmaceutical and biotech industries, focusing on areas such as metabolism, neurodegenerative conditions, muscle wasting, and aging-related diseases. Attendees can look forward to the latest advances in understanding the molecular, cellular, and organismal foundations of aging. #ARDD2024 #AgingResearch #DrugDiscovery #LongevityScience #AgingBreakthroughs

I’m delighted to welcome Neurodon and Russell Dahl to the Longevity Biotechnology Association.
The LBA is beyond excited to share with you our newest member and collaborating partner! Welcome Russell Dahl, CEO of Neurodon Corporation. Neurodon began as a team of scientists building upon an established yet not fully explored approach to disease: addressing cellular stress and calcium imbalance in cells. Research has shown that cellular stress and calcium imbalance are at the root of a wide range of diseases. For years, the team has focused on how activating a calcium pump called SERCA in the cell can restore calcium balance and reverse cellular stress. Neurodon's breakthrough therapeutics are now under preclinical development for diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and other rare diseases. They have formed impressive partnerships to help achieve their vision of changing the lives of patients suffering from debilitating diseases.

Largest proteomics study to date! Delays in diagnosing many diseases stem from a lack of objective biomarkers. A study involving 41,931 individuals from the UK Biobank integrated plasma protein measurements with clinical information to predict the 10-year incidence of 218 diseases. Protein-based models outperformed traditional clinical models for 67 diseases and those using additional assay data for 52 diseases. Validation in the EPIC-Norfolk study confirmed these findings. These results suggest that plasma protein signatures can provide valuable predictions for both common and rare diseases.
Lots of info from a drop of #blood! Study in Nature Medicine shows blood proteins predict risk of developing more than 60 diseases, based on largest proteomics study to date from over 40,000 UK Biobank participants. Results outperform current models https://lnkd.in/dmmXguMS
