Applications of Epigenetic Aging Clocks and Methylation Risk Scores using Whole Genome Methylation Profiling

DNA 메틸화(DNAm) 데이터 분석이 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있습니다. 예를 들어, 2016년 이후 epigenome 연관 연구(EWAS)의 연간 수는 세 배로 증가했습니다. 연구 및 바이오테크 커뮤니티에서의 관심이 높아진 것 외에도, 저비용 고수익 DNA methylation array 플랫폼을 사용하여 분석을 수행하는 연구자와 바이오뱅크가 늘어남에 따라 데이터의 이용 가능성도 증가하고 있습니다. 그러나 이 데이터를 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 방법은 여전히 제한적이며 널리 사용되지 않고 있습니다.

이 웨비나에 참석하시면 다음 내용을 배울 수 있습니다:

• 다양한 임상, 연구 및 바이오테크 응용 분야에서 DNAm 데이터를 분석하고 적용하는 방법
• epigenetic clocks의 생성 및 구현에 대한 최신 업데이트 공유
• 다양한 건강 상태 및 Surrogate biomarker 예측을 위한 DNA Methylation Risk Scores (MRS)의 최신 업데이트 및 응용 방법
• DNAm 데이터의 상업적 및 연구적 응용과 앞으로 몇 년 동안 생의학 응용에 어떻게 영향을 미칠지에 대한 정보 공유

	Mr. Ryan Smith Co-Founder and Head of Global Research and Development, TruDiagnostic, Inc., USA
Ryan Smith is a co-founder of TruDiagnostic, an epigenetic testing company. Ryan received his BA in biochemistry from Transylvania University before heading to medical school in 2013. After passing USMLE Step 1, he opened a pharmacy in the United States focusing on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations. His pharmacy, Tailor Made Compounding, became the 4th fastest growing company in US healthcare and grew to 9 digits in yearly revenue within 3 years. In 2020, Ryan exited Tailor Made to found TruDiagnostic. TruDiagnostic is a CLIA certified lab and health data company which specializes in understanding and reporting insights found through epigenetic methylation data. Since its conception in 2020, TruDiagnostic has created the largest private epigenetic database in the world with over 75,000 patients tested. From this dataset, they have designed many innovative algorithms to interpret methylation data including algorithms to predict inflammatory markers, disease diagnosis, telomere length, aging pace, immune cell subsets, cellular replication, and much more. TruDiagnostic also offers software that enables labs and researchers all over the world to collect and integrate DNA methylation tools into their work.
