The New Frontier of Longevity Science: Living Well Beyond Your Years
Is it possible to extend human lifespan beyond 100 years while maintaining quality of life? Longevity scientists David Sinclair, Ph.D., and Jeffrey Lieberman, M.D., believe it’s within reach. In this session, they explore advancements like genome sequencing, Sirtuin genes, and epigenetic regulators that make altering the aging process scientifically plausible. They will discuss promising strategies, including DREADDs (Designer Receptor Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs), transcranial magnetic stimulation, and holistic practices, that target aging at the cellular level, enhance brain health, and promote renewal—offering life-changing insights for the future.
