João Pedro de Magalhães is Chair of Molecular Biogerontology at the University of Birmingham, following training at Harvard Medical School. He has published over 100 papers in journals including Science, Nature, and Cell, and maintains some of the most widely used databases in aging research, including GenAge, AnAge, and DrugAge.
In this talk, João argues that aging is not a fixed biological constant and makes the case for a systematic scientific program to understand and intervene in the aging process. He covers the genomic and molecular data on long-lived species, the interventions that appear most promising, and where the field is likely to produce real breakthroughs in the years ahead.
