Ira Pastor ideaXme longevity and aging Ambassador and Founder of Bioquark interviews Professor Irena Cosic, Emeritus Professor, RMIT University, Melbourne Australia and Director AMALNA Consulting.
Over the last few shows as we’ve spent time journeying along the
biologic-architecture of life and aging, we’ve spent most of our
time somewhere between the organism as a whole, its physiological
networks and process, and the world of the cell and its various
macromolecules - proteins, nucleic acids, and the respective
metabolic architecture of genes and gene regulatory networks.
However, borrowing a line from Dr. Craig Venter, “We humans are not
giant amoeba.”
The human body is much more complex than that. The average human
body consists of in the range of 30-50 trillion cells, each one of
those cells containing 25,000 protein coding genes, and each cell
executes hundreds of thousands of biochemical reactions per
day.
For the most part of life, from the point we are first conceived,
the processes of life, ontogenesis, development, growth,
metabolism, repair and regeneration work close to perfectly.
The big unanswered question is "how?". Most thought leaders agree
that it’s not solely about randomness.
Today, Professor Irena Cosic take us further along this theme and
into some research areas we don’t often hear about in the
traditional biopharma space. Professor Cosic is Emeritus Professor,
College of Science, Engineering and Health, at RMIT University in
Melbourne Australia, and is the creator of the Resonant Recognition
Model (RRM) of macromolecular interactions which proposes that
protein and other macromolecular interactions are based on highly
specific resonant electromagnetic energy transfer, and has opened
up a whole new realm for understanding biologic processes and,
potentially, interfering and modulating them.
With a BS, MS, and PhD in Biomedical Engineering, University of
Belgrade, Professor Cosic currently serves as the Deputy Pro Vice
chancellor of Science, Engineering and Health at RMIT, and for the
last few decades has lectured and consulted extensively on subjects
as diverse as molecular bioelectronics, bioelectromagnetism,
molecular modeling, protein engineering, biophysics, biomedical
engineering, bioinformatics, biomedical instrumentation, and signal
processing.
She also runs a consulting firm for biotech companies called AMALNA
Consulting.
She’s published extensively over the years, and also serves as a referee for a number of international journals including International Journal of Theoretical Biology, Protein Engineering and APSM, and is involved in the initiation of the new Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Tissue Cellular and Molecular Engineering Journal.
Today Dr. Cosic talks to me:
-About her background: how she became interested in science, how
she became interested in bioengineering, and eventually what led
her into the cutting-edge field of bioscience.
-About the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) and applications of it in health and aging.
-Her thoughts in the area of electroceutical therapeutics.
-Her thoughts in the area of quantum biology and the ELM connection.
