Jean M. Hébert, PhD, is a Professor of Neuroscience and Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Dr. Hebert was fascinated from a young age by how a single cell forms the whole human body following an innate genetic program and he got excited by how knowledge of this process might be used to improve our biological fates and defeat aging. He is a molecular geneticist by training and obtained his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Francisco, before specializing in the study of how neural stem cells form the brain at Stanford University. His lab is now developing ways to use cell and tissue replacements to repair and rejuvenate the brain. More specifically, the Hébert Lab is engineering tissue that increasingly resembles normal neocortex, the part of our brain that performs our highest cognitive functions, and testing the ability of this tissue to integrate with the host brain. Jean is the author of Replacing Aging. We had an extremely interesting conversation ranging from why Dr. Hebert thinks the other methods to fight aging may not work if the goal is to beat aging, we discuss 3D organs and tissue cell replacement and we also discuss the neocortex and what it takes to replace one and lastly we talk about how plasticity in the brain works.  Even if you are not associated with the field of longevity, you’ll find this conversation interesting and refreshing.

Reason is the founder and CEO of Repair Biotechnologies. Repair Biotechnologies is a biotech company focused on developing therapies that treat medical conditions arising due to accumulation of excessive cholesterol. They have developed a unique Cholesterol Degrading Platform to reverse the damage that leads to heart disease and atherosclerosis. More than 5 million people die every year due to atherosclerosis and Repair Biotechnologies is trying to solve this problem. Reason is perhaps most well known for his popular blog Fight Aging! where he distills the latest research in aging science. For anyone looking to stay informed on aging & longevity research, I highly recommend you checking it out - it’s one of the best resources out there. In today’s conversation, we discuss how to think of aging simply, the differences between slowing and reversing aging, NAD+ boosters and their effectiveness, reversing aging using senolytics, how his company is working on a gene therapy to reverse artherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, problems with Alzheimer's research, working towards aging rejuvenation therapies, how one can get involved in the aging space, and much more. Note: We discuss a fair bit on cellular senescence and senolytic therapies. For those unfamiliar with the concept, cellular senescence is a process in which cells lose their ability to divide but refuse to die. When these senescent cells don’t get cleared away, they release harmful substances and damage the cells around them too. It is well known that senescent cells accumulate with age, contributing to inflammation and aging itself. Senolytics is a class of drugs that can selectively clear away these senescent cells and they have shown promise in delaying and preventing age-related diseases.
