In 2008Aubrey de Greyclaimed that the first human to live 1,000 years was probably already alive, and might even be between 50 and 60 years old already.
In this podcast, we talk to Aubrey De Grey the chief science officer of the SENS Research Foundation, an organisation that develops and promotes rejuvenation biotechnology that could one day indefinitely extend human lifespans.
De Grey’s research focuses on whether regenerative medicine can prevent the aging process. He works on the development of what he calls “Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence” (SENS), a collection of proposed techniques to rejuvenate the human body and stop aging. To this end, he has identified seven types of molecular and cellular damage caused by essential metabolic processes. SENS is a proposed panel of therapies designed to repair this damage.
Aubrey tells us about the work the team at SENS are undertaking to prevent aging, the challenges of securing funding for high risk high reward work and the broad ecosystem around extending human life spans beyond its current biological limits.
