We're not only testing older people. We're also testing rare diseases like friedrichs ataxia, which is a matycondrial related disease that somebody on the patcast he has lived with at really aye. The year we just got fda approval to go into patience am to actually test whether they work or not. And this dayand age, obviously big benefit erye. I meanis mostly the frail and the elderly that are succumbing to corona virus. If we could magically, or even phimacutically, make old people young temporarily, well theyws sick, then they wouldn't have this crisis.
What if you could reverse the aging process? Sounds like science fiction, but the new science of aging is turning it into science fact. Today, we learn the truth about aging and how to potentially slow, stop and even reverse it from one of the world's leading voices in the science of aging, David A. Sinclair, Ph.D. He is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School, Professor and Head of the Aging Labs at UNSW, Sydney, and an honorary Professor at the University of Sydney. Best known for his work on genes and small molecules that delay aging, including the Sirtuin genes, resveratrol and NAD precursors, he has published over 170 scientific papers, is a co-inventor on over 50 patents, and has co-founded 14 biotechnology companies in the areas of aging, vaccines, diabetes, fertility, cancer, and biodefense. And he's the author of Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don't Have To.
