Today, we get to cover a wide range of topics around the science and economics of infectious disease and aging. Our guest today is Dr. Tim Peterson, he's an assistant professor at Washington University School of Medicine. His focus on longevity has led him to study metformin and rapamycin, and the mTOR pathway, arguably the most validated longevity pathway known. We'll also hear about some innovative strategies using the blockchain to facilitate longevity, drug development.
