Meetings

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Springer Nature will co-host a conference to explore the latest research on cancer therapeutics, highlighting advances in the development of next-generation treatment modalities and the technologies enabling them. “Next Generation Cancer Therapeutics” is scheduled for Oct. 6-8, 2026, on the UT MD Anderson campus. 

Following the publication of its latest study in Nature Biotechnology, Insilico Medicine founder and CEO Alex Zhavoronkov, Ph.D., took the stage at Sorbonne University during the Nature AI Conference on Redefining Healthcare in the Age of AI to deliver a detailed presentation of the breakthrough findings.

Addressing an audience of global research leaders, clinical investigators, and biopharma innovators, Zhavoronkov detailed how the company’s AI-driven novel drug candidate, rentosertib (ISM001-055), achieved a unanimous reversal of biological age across six independent proteomic aging clocks in a Phase IIa clinical trial.

In the late 1800s, newspapers ran alarming headlines about a dangerous new technology corrupting the nation’s youth. Books. Kids were sneaking off to libraries to read Horatio Alger, and parents were convinced it would ruin them. More than a century later, the medium has changed dramatically. But the fear, experts say, has not. The tension between panic and practicality was at the heart of a packed panel discussion Sept. 8 at UC Irvine, the third installment of the “Raising the Next Generation in the Age of AI” series. Co-presented by UCI’s School of Social Ecology, the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, the Office of Research, the Connected Learning Lab, and CERES (Connecting the EdTech Research EcoSystem), the event brought together researchers, a tech industry leader and a youth advocate for a candid, research-grounded conversation about helping families navigate the challenges of raising children in an increasingly digital world.

As scientific debate intensifies over solar geoengineering, clean energy constraints, and political influence on research, Frontiers Science House convenes leading scientists, business leaders, and policy heads during Climate Week NYC. Journalists can attend in person or online and request one-on-one speaker interviews.
