Meet the Simunauts! 👨🚀 👩🚀 👨🚀 👩🚀 NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge kicks off its final eight-week demonstration this month, and a new crew is running the show. Ohio State University has selected four current and former students to maintain and operate the food production technologies during the demonstration period of this final phase of the competition.

2023, what a ride! As we see the year coming to an end, I will pause to reflect about my year tenure as the interim CEO of Eternal. First, it's been an honour to be the acting CEO this year. It is uncommon for a CFO to step up to the driving seat, and I want to thank Horacio Acerbo, who started the business, and the company board for trusting me to make the right calls even at difficult times. We were able to deliver results in exchange of that trust, that very few companies can claim. A short list below: - We won the 2nd phase of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration deep space food challenge, ending ahead of amazing companies like Nature's Fynd. - We became finalists at the XPRIZE feed the next billion competition, putting us among only 5 companies able to create whole cut animal analogue (we are doing chicken breasts) with similar nutritional qualities and amazing flavour. - We scaled up our operation to start producing Mycofood® at a pace of hundreds of tons per month with as good a quality as what our labs achieved. - We kept investor confidence, even in an extremely adverse market, while the number of food companies trialing our ingredient kept growing by the day. My thanks to the team and supporters, Martín Blasco, Mark Fielding, Lucas Gago, Hernan Rodriguez, María Belén Bradanini, Julia Stanisz, Zafar Kanani, CFA, ACMA, CGMA, Pablo Facundo García, Generative Intelligence, Paola Díaz Dellavalle, Alejandro Antalich, Bingham and Jones, Marco Bertacca, Jim Laird, Celine Schiff-Deb, Sonny Chew, David Verbitsky, Joey van Koningsbruggen, Jason Fong, Methuselah Foundation, Pablo de León, Ph.D., Dane Gobel, Aito De la Rua, Phnam Bagley, ReLondon,Karl G., Bruce Singer CPA, CA, Paul Shapiro, Alex Shirazi, Jordan Giali, William Mounsey,Eero Vaara plus the many not on the list. LinkedIn is a bit too full of "humble bragging" but I am really proud this year I was able to work with amazingly smart people in making the world better. I am curious to see what new adventures 2024 brings, perhaps a project in low orbit, or new uses for artificial intelligence. If you are curious too, watch this space!

My take on the promising outlook of human relevant methodologies and #artificialintelligence for #drugdiscovery and development. There has never been a more critical need to accelerate medicines that work for patients. Our expansive mission at the Center for Contemporary Sciences to advance human, animal, and planetary health has taken me on a deep learning journey. It's been incredibly fulfilling for me this year to dive into the interconnectedness of human health to a larger ecosystem. I will write more on this and will feature thought leaders from diverse sectors in the new year, so keep an eye out! ➡ Learn more about CCS: contemporarysciences.org 🎁 Consider making an end of year gift of support: https://lnkd.in/ezrfWUEU #drugdevelopment #longevity #medicine #invitro #mps #organoids #tissueengineering #publichealth #biopharma #biopharmaceuticals #pharmaceutical #exponential #AI #deeplearning #generativeai #data #humanhealth #animalprotection #efficacy #toxicology https://lnkd.in/eYXQgdbg

Leaning into human-relevant methodologies such as human #organoids, tissue cultures, and advanced #invitro models will transition researchers from reliance on animal testing toward a more direct study of human biology. When paired with #artificialintelligence, this evolution enables us to decode the complexities of human systems like never before." CCS President Florina Gobel shares her thoughts on how human-relevant methodologies and #AI are revolutionizing #drugdiscovery and #drugdevelopment. Join us as we dive into: 🎯 The promise of personalization in drug development 🐇 Reducing reliance on #animaltesting as a pragmatic stride forward 🚀 How speed and efficiency of drug discovery will skyrocket 💍 The marriage of human-relevant methods + AI as catalysts for #innovation This is truly a new era for drug development and heralds a new dawn for #personalizedmedicine. 🎁 CCS is making big swings this coming year!

This Monday at the 1st Biomarkers of Aging Symposium with Biomarkers of Aging Consortium we announced the #BioLearn, an open-source library for aging biomarkers! #BioLearn addresses inconsistencies in aging biomarker data, offering a unified framework for researchers. This tool is set to boost the validation and assessment of biomarkers for aging. Dive into the details: https://lnkd.in/gnqWjkZ9 I’m honored to be part of this work but the most of credit should go to Seth Paulson , Jesse Poganik, Mahdi Moqri , Vadim Gladyshev and other coauthors. We also thank the support of Biomarkers of Aging Consortium, Methuselah Foundation, Dane Gobel, and VoLo Foundation .

“In order to get to Mars and beyond, we must adapt how we feed our crews. The solutions derived from the Deep Space Food Challenge will bridge this massive technology gap, allowing us to venture further and longer than we ever have before," said Denise Morris, program manager for Centennial Challenges at #NASAMarshall. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is kicking off the final phase of the agency’s Deep Space Food Challenge to help feed the astronauts of the future. In the third and final phase of the challenge, five U.S. and three international finalists are invited to test their food production systems as part of a simulated mission carried out by a crew of analog astronauts.
