*Roman Bauer | Avenues For Life Extension: Put Your Eggs In The Right Basket(s)*
Dr Roman Bauer is a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Nature Inspired Computing and Engineering research group, based at the Computer Science Research Centre of the University of Surrey (UK). He received his Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Computational Science and Engineering from ETH Zuerich (Switzerland). Afterwards, he did his doctoral studies at the Institute for Neuroinformatics (ETH Zürich/Uni Zürich) on simulations of brain development. He then joined Newcastle University (UK) in 2013 as a postdoc and afterwards led his own lab funded by two fellowships (MRC Skills Development Fellowship and EPSRC UKRI Innovation Fellowship). In 2020 he became a Lecturer and in 2023 a Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey, where he since then leads the interdisciplinary COMBYNE research lab (www.combynelab.com).
Dr Bauer's research focuses on the computational modelling and analysis of biological dynamics, in particular those of the brain. Core components of his interests are neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. His highly interdisciplinary research involves modern computing approaches, biological expertise, innovative machine learning methods and IT- related collaboration. Dr Bauer is co-founder and spokesperson of the international BioDynaMo collaboration, which created the open-source and high-performance agent-based modelling software BioDynaMo (www.biodynamo.org). He is also co-founder of Oxford Cryotechnology (oxfordcryotech.com).
Abstract: Here, I will describe general approaches for life extension, and describe concrete research that addresses relevant challenges. In particular, I will elaborate on some of my own computational work that complements experimental approaches and comment on the benefits of interdisciplinary research. Moreover, I will reflect on current open questions and technologies that have realistic potential in the near future.

*About The Foresight Institute*
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1986 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support. From molecular nanotechnology, to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, cryptocommerce, and AI, Foresight gathers leading minds to advance research and accelerate progress toward flourishing futures.
