Summary
Dr. Fredric Abramson is the CEO of Golden Thread Technology. He started the company to harness the power of DNA analysis to lower athletic injury risks. His approach is built around an AI machine learning framework that uses each athlete’s unique genetic blueprint to identify important differences in body structure, nutrition requirements and performance behaviors. The mobile interface provides ongoing, real-time, practical, personalized ongoing collaborative inputs and insights to each athlete’s actions that will lower the risk. His approach is based on his work as a pioneer in creating artificial intelligence applications to solve health and medical problems. He holds a patent for A System and Method for Evaluating and Providing Nutrigenomic Data, Information and Advice (7877273). This patent covers the use of wireless to match a person’s genetic data with nutrition ingredients to lower the risk of disease. Fredric has been an adjunct professor of biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University since 1996. His courses include the Economics of Change in Biotechnology, Creating the Biotechnology Enterprise, and Financial Management in Biotechnology. Previously he held full time faculty appointments at the American University Kogod College of Business and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Fredric holds five higher education degrees. These include his Ph.D. in Human Genetics and Population Planning from the University of Michigan, his Master of Science in Management from MIT, where he was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, and his B.A. in mathematical biology from the University of Pennsylvania. His M.S. in Biology is from the University of Rochester and his J.D. is from American University. Fredric’s service has been recognized by international bodies. He was the Chair…
