We discuss how AI-driven drug discovery and screening platforms are accelerating the identification of geroprotective compounds, while mechanism studies continue to elucidate pathways involved in aging and age-related disease. Human cohort studies provide critical validation of candidate interventions and biomarkers across diverse populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The convergence of interventions, biological age assessment, and artificial intelligence is creating a framework for precision longevity medicine, enabling more effective strategies to optimize healthspan and potentially reshape the future of aging research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Dr Brian Kennedy is a Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Biochemistry and Physiology and also serves as the Programme Chair of the Healthy Longevity Translational Research Programme and Director of the Bia-Echo Asia Centre for Reproductive Longevity and Equality, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">In addition, he is also the Director of the Centre for Healthy Longevity, National University Health System.
