Mountain View, CA: Lecture and Reception: AI & Aging: A Skeptic’s Guide to Longevity Science
Join us for an evening with Ronjon Nag (Wolfson, 1984) founder, entrepreneur, and Adjunct Professor of Genetics at the Stanford School of Medicine, and Priyanka Joshi (Clare Hall 2011), biochemist and Assistant Professor of Molecular Neuroscience & Biophysics at Georgetown University, as they explore the future of AI and Aging at R42 in Mountain View.
This will be a unique opportunity for alumni to engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the emerging field of Aging Science—what it is, where it’s headed, and how AI is shaping its future.
We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please reach out to events@cantab.org.

Ronjon Nag
Ronjon Nag (Wolfson, 1984) is an inventor and entrepreneur. He is an Adjunct Professor in Genetics at the Stanford School of Medicine, becoming a Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow in 2016. His companies have been sold to Apple, BlackBerry, and Motorola. More recently he has worked on the intersection of AI and Biology. He has been awarded the Mountbatten Medal in the Royal Institution by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and has been winner (as Chairman of Bounce Imaging) of the $1m Verizon Powerful Answers Award. He has been a pioneer of smartphones and the 'app stores' they depend on. He was awarded the 2021 IEEE-SCV Outstanding Engineer Award and the 2021 IEEE-USA Leader in Entrepreneurship Spirit Award.

Priyanka Joshi
Priyanka Joshi (Clare Hall, 2011) completed her Ph.D. in Chemistry (Biophysics and Chemical Biology) with Prof. Michele Vendruscolo at the University of Cambridge, where she was awarded the Salje Medal for the best Ph.D. in Sciences. Priyanka is an Assistant Professor of Molecular Neuroscience & Biophysics at Georgetown University. She was awarded a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) at Downing College, Cambridge to build her independent research program in Prof. Sir Christopher M. Dobson's laboratory at Cambridge. She also conducted research as a visiting scientist with Prof. Paola Picotti at ETH Zurich and subsequently completed her postdoctoral training with Dr. Denis Titov at UC Berkeley. Her work has garnered international recognition, including the Everitt Butterfield Research Fellowship at Cambridge, Marie Curie Fellowship, Leading Edge Fellowship, selection for NIH's Experimental Program in Aging Research while at UC Berkeley and the GG2 Young Leadership Award sponsored by the Royal Air Force. She was named in Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Science and Healthcare and British Vogue 25 Most Influential Women in Britain. She has also given a TEDx talk and an invited lecture at the prestigious Royal Institution of Great Britain. Dr. Joshi is committed to scientific outreach and actively engages in public discourse about aging and neuroscience research.
