Just-DNA-Seq - personal longevity genomics for everyone (Anton Kulaga and Olga Borisova)

Anton Kulaga has a formal background in international management and economics (Kyiv National Economic University, 2003 - 2008, M.A. with honors). Being passionate about programming since high school, he worked for many years as a software developer. With time however, Anton realized that the pace of progress in solving aging was too slow and decided to take an active position on this matter. He started helping aging researchers and promoting ideas of radical life extension and transhumanism. In 2014, Anton co-founded the International Longevity Alliance, an umbrella organization, uniting forces of longevity activists and advocacy groups all over the world. Understanding, that activism alone may not be enough.

Anton gradually switched to bioinformatics by taking online courses and participating in research projects. In 2015-2016 Anton went to the Center of Interdisciplinary Research (Paris, France) where he received training in computational and synthetic biology. In 2017 he joined the Computational Biology of Aging Group as a bioinformatician.

Anton’s research interests lie in the fields of biogerontology, mammalian synthetic biology, bioinformatics, new institutional economics, and complexity theory. In his spare time, he also spends time on roller skating, reading science fiction, longevity activism, open-source software development and taking MOOCs on different topics.

Olga Borysova is a scientist, biologist, geneticist. Co-founder and scientific director of the MitoSpace mitochondrial therapy development platform.

Olga has 10-year executive experience in Saint Paulus Diagnostic center, that also encompasses health biomarkers estimating, human longevity biomarkers implementation, developing and introducing methods for mitochondria dysfunction diagnostics, regulatory affairs, and clinical guidelines preparation. For the last 6 years she is participating in aging research projects and is a co-author of the book about mechanisms of aging and scientific articles.

Is a member of Just-DNA-Seq team, being responsible for genetic analysis of data. Advanced Genetic Analyst in Longaevus Tech biotechnological company.

Consultant of the association "Council for Nutritional and Environmental Medicine". Member of the association COST.
