Ting Ni, PhD, is a Professor at Fudan University and serves as Vice Dean (on assignment) of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences and School of Life Sciences at Inner Mongolia University. He received his B.S. and Ph.D. from Peking University, followed by postdoctoral training at Duke University and a research appointment at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), before joining Fudan University in 2012.
His research focuses on the identification, mechanisms, and intervention of cellular senescence. He has developed innovative senescence detection technologies, including hUSI and ICAnet, uncovered novel regulatory roles of non-coding genomic regions such as introns and 3'UTRs in senescence control, and identified potential therapeutic targets including RRAS2 and CPNE1. These studies have provided important mechanistic insights into aging biology and age-related diseases. He received his scientific training at Peking University, Duke University, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), and currently leads several nationally funded research programs in China, including projects supported by the National Key Research and Development Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
Introduction
Despite remarkable advances in aging biology, the discovery of gerotherapeutics remains a major bottleneck in translating scientific insights into interventions that promote healthy longevity. Traditional drug discovery approaches are often time-consuming, costly, and insufficient for exploring the complex biological networks that drive aging.
Recent developments in high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and multi-omics technologies are transforming the landscape of gerotherapeutic discovery. These emerging approaches enable researchers to identify novel targets, predict therapeutic candidates, and systematically evaluate interventions at an unprecedented scale and speed.
This webinar will explore how cutting-edge screening platforms and AI-driven strategies are accelerating the development of next-generation gerotherapeutics. Discussions will cover recent advances, technological innovations, and future opportunities for translating aging research into effective interventions that extend healthspan and improve human health.
