Betches Media Solidifies Executive Leadership with New Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Operating Officer

The appointments coincide with Betches' 15th anniversary and on the heels of a period of rapid expansion following LBG Media's 2023 acquisitionCEO Aleen Dreksler tapped industry heavyweights Maggie Milnamow and Paul Josephsen to reinforce leadership structure and build on momentumStrategic hires mark a definitive milestone in Betches' post-acquisition evolution, installing infrastructure to unlock the company's next level of impactNEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Betches Media, the leading entertainment destination for millennial and Gen Z women, today announced an expansion to its leadership bench, installing the infrastructure required for its next era of ambitious growth. Following a period of rapid growth within LBG Media's portfolio, CEO Aleen Dreksler has tapped Maggie Milnamow as Chief Commercial Officer and Paul Josephsen as Chief Operating Officer.These dual appointments mark a key milestone in the brand's evolution from a social-first pioneer into a bona fide entertainment powerhouse. As Betches enters its 15th year, these strategic hires provide the infrastructure required to match ambition with scale and solidify the brand's position as the global authority on women's content and culture.Aleen Dreksler, CEO and Co-Founder, Betches Media, said: "I'm thrilled to welcome Maggie and Paul to Betches Media. After doubling our revenue over the past two years, 2026 marks a true inflection point for our growth, and we've brought them on to help accelerate that momentum. They are exceptional builders and people leaders with deep experience in modern media, and I'm excited to partner with them as we shape the company's future in this next phase of high growth."The C-Suite expansion comes at a time of great strength for the company. While the broader media landscape continues to face fragmentation, Betches is poised for significant commercial and operational success, having recently doubled its revenue over the ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Google unveils AI tool probing mysteries of human genome

Google unveils AI tool probing mysteries of human genomeNorman CloeteWed, 01/28/2026 - 19:00 Google unveiled an artificial intelligence tool Wednesday that its scientists said would help unravel the mysteries of the human genome and could one day lead to new treatments for diseases.The deep learning model AlphaGenome was hailed by outside researchers as a "breakthrough" that would let scientists study and even simulate the roots of difficult-to-treat genetic diseases.While the first complete map of the human genome in 2003 "gave us the book of life, reading it remained a challenge", Pushmeet Kohli, vice president of research at Google DeepMind, told journalists. "We have the text," he said, which is a sequence of three billion nucleotide pairs represented by the letters A, T, C and G that make up DNA.However "understanding the grammar of this genome, what is encoded in our DNA and how it governs life, is the next critical frontier for research," said Kohli, co-author of a new study in the journal Nature.Only around two percent of our DNA contains instructions for making proteins, which are the molecules that build and run the body.The other 98 percent was long dismissed as "junk DNA" as scientists struggled to understand what it was for.However this "non-coding DNA" is now believed to act like a conductor, directing how genetic information works in each of our cells.These sequences also contain many variants that have been associated with diseases. It is these sequences that AlphaGenome is aiming to understand.- A million letters -The project is just one part of Google's AI-powered scientific work, which also includes AlphaFold, the winner of 2024's chemistry Nobel.AlphaGenome's model was trained on data from public projects that measured non-coding DNA across hundreds of different cell and tissue types in humans and mice. The tool is able to analyse long DNA sequences then predict how each nucleotide pair will influence different biological processes within the cell.This includes whether genes start and stop and how much RNA, molecules which transmit genetic instructions inside cells, is produced.Other models already exist that have a similar aim. However they have to compromise, either by analysing far shorter DNA sequences or decreasing how detailed their predictions are, known as resolution. DeepMind scientist and lead study author Ziga Avsec said that long sequences, up to a million DNA letters long -- were "required to understand the full regulatory environment of a single gene".And the high resolution of the model allows scientists to study the impact of genetic variants by comparing the differences between mutated and non-mutated sequences."AlphaGenome can accelerate our understanding of the genome by helping to map where the functional elements are and what their roles are on a molecular level," study co-author Natasha Latysheva said.The model has already been tested by 3,000 scientists across 160 countries and is open for anyone to use for non-commercial reasons, Google said."We hope researchers will extend it with more data," Kohli added.- 'Breakthrough' -Ben Lehner, a researcher at Cambridge University who was not involved in developing AlphaGenome but did test it, said the model "does indeed perform very well"."Identifying the precise differences in our genomes that make us more or less likely to develop thousands of diseases is a key step towards developing better therapeutics," he explained.However AlphaGenome "is far from perfect and there is still a lot of work to do", he added."AI models are only as good as the data used to train them" and the existing data is not very suitable, he said.Robert Goldstone, head of genomics at the UK's Francis Crick Institute, cautioned that AlphaGenome was "not a magic bullet for all biological questions".This was partly because "gene expression is influenced by complex environmental factors that the model cannot see", he said.However the tool still represented a "breakthrough" that would allow scientists to "study and simulate the genetic roots of complex disease", Goldstone added.By Bénédicte Salvetat Rey
