AI-designed HyperFood against cancer | Michael Bronstein & Kirill Veselkov | TEDxLugano

NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for medical advice. While some viewers might find advice provided in this talk to be helpful as a complementary approach, the relationship between food and disease remains an emerging field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...


Nutrition has been widely recognized as being key to our health. It is one such modifiable aspects of life on which we should have a great deal of control. Here’s where artificial intelligence and biomedicine can provide an extremely valid support, by developing, for instance, AI algorithms for the discovery and design of hyper foods that help to prevent and revert oncological diseases. Professor Michael Bronstein is a scientist and serial entrepreneur. He is a professor of Machine Learning at Imperial College London and USI Lugano and also head of Graph Learning Research at Twitter. His main research interest is in the development of next-generation ML methods for network-structured data with applications to social media, biological data, computer vision and graphics.
He has (co)founded multiple successful startup companies including Invision (acquired by Intel in 2012) and Fabula AI (acquired by Twitter in 2019).

Dr Kirill Veselkov is a researcher and lecturer in computational medicine at Imperial College London. Kirill brings together machine learning, mobile supercomputing and large molecular –omics datasets to tackle the growing epidemic of complex diseases such as cancer. He currently leads the multi-disciplinary project on #hyperfoods, #dreamlab and #food passport. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
