NEXT.BIO 2025 - Decoding aging and longevity with AI models

​​​​In October 2025, A16Z #SFTechWeek will once again take over San Francisco. We are organizing NEXT.BIO, a world-class week long tech conference featuring the best startups, industry leaders and investors in AI x BIO across a series of Tech Events, a unique Hackathon and a DEMO Day 🚀 ​

​​​

​​​This event is one of our Tech Event series part of the full-week conference.

​

​​🧩 Suggested Themes & Challenges:

• ​Digital Health & AI:

  • ​Create AI-driven solutions for early detection of age-related diseases.

• ​Biotechnology & Therapeutics:

  • ​Innovate in areas like gene therapy or regenerative medicine targeting aging processes.

​

​What is are the longevity available datasets?

​🧬 Molecular & Genetic Data:

• ​Human Aging and Longevity Landscape (HALL): A multi-omics repository offering curated data on aging- and longevity-associated genes, proteins, and pathways. Ideal for systems biology and bioinformatics analyses. Oxford Academic

• ​HALD (Human Aging and Longevity Database): A biomedical knowledge graph derived from PubMed literature, integrating natural language processing to map relationships between genes, diseases, and aging processes. Nature

• ​ELITE Portal: Provides open-access molecular data on exceptional longevity, focusing on individuals with extraordinary lifespans.
