Aubrey de Grey
Specialist in Postponing Human Aging
Aubrey de Grey is a leading biomedical gerontologist and chair of the Methuselah Foundation, based in Cambridge, UK. In 2005, Dr de Grey’s work at Cambridge centered upon a detailed plan called Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) which was aimed at preventing age-related physical and cognitive decline.
“The fundamental knowledge necessary to develop truly effective anti-aging medicine mostly exists”
Prior to his work in cellular and molecular biology, de Grey was formally trained as a computer scientist. In 1985 he received a B.A. in Computer Science from Cambridge. In 1995 de Grey turned his attention to the biology of aging. Cambridge granted de Grey a Ph.D. in biology in 2000.[/expand]
Aubrey talks about the prospects for radically postponing and eventually defeating aging in the next few decades, and the social and personal consequences of this. He has identified what he concludes are the seven areas of the aging process that need to be addressed medically before this can be done. He has been interviewed in recent years in many news sources, including CBS 60 Minutes, BBC, the New York Times, Fortune Magazine, and Popular Science.[/expand]
Delivering an average of 20-30 invited talks per year at scientific conferences and universities Aubrey’s enlightening presentations are absolutely riveting.[/expand]
