Leon Peshkin, PhD, is Principal Research Scientist in Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School, Department of Systems Biology.
Peshkin came into Systems Biology from the Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics background to inform computational methods with biological insight and help advance the state of probabilistic modeling and data analysis in biological medical research. His passion is understanding the root causes of aging and unlocking nature’s mechanism for longevity and reversal of age-induced damage. Cancer, Alzheimer’s, most other things we die of are the symptoms of underlying condition which must be cured – aging.
