How we can finally win the fight against aging | Aubrey De Grey | TEDxMünchen

Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based Mountain View, California, USA, and is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Research Foundation, a California-based 501(c)(3) biomedical research charity that performs and funds laboratory research dedicated to combating the aging process. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Rejuvenation Research, the world’s highest-impact peer-reviewed journal focused on intervention in aging. He received his BA in computer science and Ph.D. in biology from the University of Cambridge. His research interests encompass the characterisation of all the accumulating and eventually pathogenic molecular and cellular side-effects of metabolism (“damage”) that constitute mammalian aging and the design of interventions to repair and/or obviate that damage.

You go through life, gather knowledgeable and wisdom, then you die. Living longer, as a vigorous psychologically young person, will advance civilization exponentially. Go Aubrey! Support SENS research and make your governments support this research.

[arturoordonez-hernandez]

Best of luck to you and every researcher working on this.

Thank you Richard Heart Billionaire founder of Hex for raising 27 million dollars of donation to the SENS Foundation in 5 Days!

Much love Aubrey, it was so great to meet and take a photo with you at the Hex 2022 conference.

Wow, someone is already working on this problem!
I'm really glad that people are finally starting to concentrate on possible solutions to the most important problem of humanity - death.
Thank you for your work, folks from SENS!

Dr. Degrey, I have been reading about you in books about ageing for a long time now. I love the way you use high humor to engage your audience. Well done. You are a far cry from the stereotype of being a boring scientist. I wish you all the best in your research efforts.

it's the next step in evolution, to defeat aging side effects that is making us weak and sick, but it will require our free will and intellect, conscious about aging, unlike animals must lead to cure, animals are not even aware of aging and they can't do anything about it, but we can. So thank you everyone who support Aubrey and for donations.

I think his research is the future. People don't realize that civilization is aging, with a rate of births that is getting smaller. At this time the working-age population is Germany is just 54%. With regenerative medicine can cannot only extend life but also keep the civilization going.

Incredible man working on a really importance problem! So happy to see all the support in the comments :)

[ross]

Awesome guy. He's doing actually important work!

[anzoraslanukov]

Let's instead spend billions for building stadiums since those are more important!

When Aubrey De Grey is in a room full of people disagreeing with him, he is the sane one.

[TrojanHorse]

Great talk, very interesting, thank you Aubrey De Grey!

[sambitjena]

Pls for god sake fund people like him

[Live-Forever-Club]

Great explanation of why aging research doesn't get enough funding: "we have chosen to give some of the aspects of aging disease-like names [e.g. cancer, atherosclerosis] and not other ones [e.g. sarcopenia, frailty]"

[marinaestebanmarin]

He has now raised over 20 million dollars, it's happening

[andreigheorghe]

Aging must be stopped...once and for all

[DeepakSharma-mbmj]

@1:42 Funny but so true, we all want to make a difference in people's lives even if we don't care much about the person next door. Crazy place, this world!

[panic-vgly]

First we need to take care of the first problem of old age dying then we prevent aging and then were done this man is still with us today maybe he could give us the answer

[mybluemars]

Excellent! ZZTop is finally doing something about aging!
