Can We Cure Aging?
from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute
Recent research has yielded a much better understanding of how aging happens and how it leads to the ills of old age. There is now a lot of interest in tackling human aging to prevent, delay, or compress the unhealthy period at the end of life. In laboratory animals it turns out to be possible to target aging with diet and with existing drugs to promote better health in late life. So, what if getting old did not mean getting frail and ill? Speakers Linda Partridge DBE, FRS, FRSE, FMedSci, Professorial Research Fellow, University College London
