Aging, Biological Clocks, Proteomics, Longevity & Healthspan | Austin Argentieri | 175

Sep 3, 2024

Austin Argentieri, PhD, a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, dives into the fascinating science of aging. He clarifies the difference between chronological and biological age and discusses the emerging role of DNA methylation in understanding our aging process. The conversation also explores proteomics, revealing how proteins impact our health as we age, and emphasizes the significance of the UK Biobank data in uncovering these connections. Argentieri highlights the need for focusing on improving healthspan—not just lifespan—by addressing age-related diseases and lifestyle factors.
