Mayo Clinic & University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), United States

Physician scientist and executive in AI & Informatics. Dr. Kingsley led the AI transformation of the worlds most renowned healthcare system, Mayo Clinic. He founded and is the Director of the Healthcare and Epidemiology AI Lab (HEAL). His grant funded lab was dedicated to better understanding of disease through computational and algorithmic approaches that focused on uses of AI. Recently, he moved his faculty appointment to the University of California Los Angles (UCLA) and remains adjunct at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Kingsley regularly publishes and speaks on topics of AI in medicine and epidemiology. He has a medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, graduate training in Epidemiology and Public Health from Harvard University School of Public Health, Biomedical Informatics from Johns Hopkins, and Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. He is an adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Informatics at Mayo Clinic and Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCLA.

Université Côte d’Azur, France

Professor of Animal Physiology and Neuroscience at Université Côte d’Azur in Nice, France, she conducts her research at the Institut de Pharmacologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire (IPMC). Her scientific work focuses on understanding the mechanisms of brain ageing at both the circuitry and synaptic levels, in the context of normal ageing as well as Alzheimer’s disease. By investigating neuronal signatures, her research aims to identify early predictors of individual cognitive trajectories and to shed light on the processes that underlie resilience or decline with age. Beyond her research, she is Co-Director of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s programme imAGEin, an innovative and prestigious degree funded by the European Commission, dedicated to the Biology of Ageing, with the mission of preparing the next generation of international leaders in this fast-evolving field.
