QLS Seminar - Wednesday 27 August at 10h30 "Modeling healthy and pathological aging" by Enzo TAGLIAZUCCHI (University of Buenos Aires) - 2024 ICTP Prize awardee

[Quantitative Life Sciences]

Dear All,

Next week, Wed 27 August  at 10:30 CET, Prof. Enzo Tagliazucchi 
(University of Buenos Aires) will give a seminar titled:

*"Modeling healthy and pathological aging **"

*_Abstract:

_As we age, our brains undergo substantial structural and functional 
changes, which can be either accelerated or slowed by various factors. 
In this talk, I will demonstrate how these processes can be modeled 
using non-invasive neuroimaging data. I will present results obtained 
through machine learning to calibrate brain-age estimation models, which 
can then be used to investigate how different diseases and environmental 
factors disrupt healthy aging trajectories. Finally, I will discuss how 
biophysically grounded models based on coupled dynamical systems can 
shed light on the mechanisms underlying these accelerated aging processes.

*The seminar will take place in the _Common area, Old SISSA building, 
second floor - Via Beirut, 2_*

*N.B. Prof. Tagliazucchi is 2024 ICTP Prize recipient and the _2024 ICTP 
Prize award ceremony starts after lunch at 13:00 on Wed 27 Aug 25 in the 
Budinich Lecture Hall, Leonardo building_.*
