What if you could slow down the clock on your aging? According to aging expert and Harvard geneticist, Dr. David Sinclair, we now have the knowledge and technology to live longer lives, healthier.\xa0In his revolutionary research, Dr. Sinclair has identified mechanisms behind aging giving us clues into the behaviors and molecules that can potentially extend life.\xa0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nListen and Learn:\n\n\n\nWhy is aging a disease and how can it be slowedWhat are longevity genes and what role do they play in healthWhat is epigenetics and how does it relate to aging and healthWhat is hormesis and why is being too comfortable bad for our longevityWhat behavioral strategies can you start today that will lead to a longer lifeWhat molecules Dr. Sinclair\u2019s lab is researching that could be our future fountain of youthWhat are the social and individual impacts of living longer with more healthWhat does Dr. David Sinclair do each day to activate his longevity genes\n\n\n\nResources:\n\n\n\nLifespan: Why we age and why we don\u2019t have to by David SinclairThe Harvard Study of Adult Development\n\n\n\nAbout David Sinclair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid A. Sinclair, Ph.D., A.O.\xa0is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School. He is best known for his\xa0work on understanding why we age and how to slow its effects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney in 1995. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at M.I.T. with Dr. Leonard Guarente where he co-discovered a cause of aging for yeast as well as the role of Sir2 in epigenetic changes driven by genome instability. In 1999 he was recruited to Harvard Medical School where he has been teaching aging biology and translational medicine for aging for the past 16 years. Dr. Sinclair is co-founder of several biotechnology companies (Sirtris, Ovascience, Genocea, Cohbar, MetroBiotech, ArcBio, Liberty Biosecurity) and is on the boards of several others. He is also co-founder and co-chief editor of the journal\xa0Aging. His work is featured in five books, two documentary movies, 60 Minutes, Morgan Freeman\u2019s \u201cThrough the Wormhole\u201d and other media. He is an\xa0inventor on 35\xa0patents and has received more than 25 awards and honors including the TIME magazine\u2019s list of the\xa0\u201c100 most\xa0influential people in the world\u201d.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
