Cracking the Code of Life With Milena Georgieva from EPIX.AI | Ep.85 The Recursive Podcast

    • Entrepreneurship

Our next guest is on a quest to unlock the code of longevity.  

Milena Georgieva is a molecular biology, genetics, and epigenetics professor at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. 

She is also a Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at the startup company EPIX.AI. 

In her role, Prof. Georgieva is in charge of R&D activities and manages a group of experts working to understand aging processes and create instruments to measure biological age and extend the human lifespan. 

The conversation spans from the genesis of Prof. Georgieva’s fascination with molecular biology, genetics, and epigenetics. 

The discussion delves into the current state of genetic research and the mission of EPIX.AI, emphasizing the importance of health span over the lifespan. She explains how their interdisciplinary team leverages biological data, genetics, and epigenetics to create personalized prevention protocols for age-related diseases to extend healthy lifespans.

EPIX.AI, as its name suggests, deploys AI and ML algorithms, to decipher genetic triggers and organize and utilize effectively the abundance of health data. 

Prof. Georgieva expresses the necessity for a cohesive ecosystem integrating scientific breakthroughs into practical applications, pointing out the gap between research and its implementation in business.
