Listen "Dr. Nathan Price on Alzheimers, Digital Twins, and the Future of Medicine in the Age of AI"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we delve into the future of medicine with Dr. Nathan Price, Chief Science Officer at Thorne HealthTech and co-author of "The Age of Scientific Wellness." Dr. Price shares his visionary insights on the transformation of medicine through systems biology approaches, modeling and analytics, and practices centered in prevention. He shares how his research uses digital twins in predicting and preventing the progression of Alzheimer’s diseases and how other AI developments are impacting access to diagnosis and treatments.Dr. Nathan Price highlights the transformative power of combining phenotyping and genotyping in research, allowing for a deeper understanding of disease progression and potential interventions long before symptoms appear. “You can look for what's different in individuals 20 years before the disease would be expected to emerge. What you find is that there are differences that are manifested in the blood in these dense data clouds. This longitudinal data is different as a function of differential risk for that disease.”At University of Virginia Dr. Price evaluates and guides promising translational research projects through his role on the board of the Coulter Translational Research Center.Follow Dr. Price on Social Media:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathandprice/Twitter: https://x.com/ISBNathanPrice?s=20Read his new book “The Age of Scientific Wellness: Why the Future of Medicine is Personalized, Predictive, Data Rich and In Your Handshttps://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674245945Learn more about Thorne HealthTech: https://www.thorne.com/Director & Host: Dasha Tyshlek, StratCraft, Inc. www.strat-craft.comExecutive Producer: David Chen, Managing Director & Instructor of Engineering Design, UVASenior Producer: Hannah Moore, Associate Director, UVA CoulterDesign Director: Carolyn Wagner, Inc. & Link: carolynwagnerinc.comProduced on behalf of Wallace H.
