Aubrey de Grey - Towards the Future of Regenerative Medicine





In recent times there as been surprising progress in stem cell research and in regenerative medicine that will change the world. Aubrey de Grey is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Foundation - an organisation focused on going beyond ageing and leading the journey towards the future of regenerative medicine! What will it take to get there? Here are some topics we will cover:
- Updates & progress at SENS
- Highlights of promising progress in regenerative medicine in general
- Recent funding successes, what can be achieved with this?
- Discussion on getting the message across - desirability & feasibility of rejuvenation therapy
- Robust Mouse Rejuvenation - now Aubrey predicts only half a decade away
- What could be the future of regenerative medicine?
- Given progress so far, what can people alive today look forward to?

Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based in Mountain View, California, USA, and is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Research Foundation, a California-based 501(c)(3) biomedical research charity that performs and funds laboratory research dedicated to combating the aging process. He is also VP of New Technology Discovery at AgeX Therapeutics, a biotechnology startup developing new therapies in the field of biomedical gerontology. In addition, he is Editor-in-Chief of Rejuvenation Research, the world’s highest-impact peer-reviewed journal focused on intervention in aging. He received his BA in computer science and Ph.D. in biology from the University of Cambridge. His research interests encompass the characterisation of all the types of self-inflicted cellular and molecular damage that constitute mammalian aging and the design of interventions to repair and/or obviate that damage. Dr. de Grey is a Fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the American Aging Association, and sits on the editorial and scientific advisory boards of numerous journals and organisations. He is a highly sought-after speaker who gives 40-50 invited talks per year at scientific conferences, universities, companies in areas ranging from pharma to life insurance, and to the public.

Avatar Polymorph - The Ethics of Boosting Animals from Sentience to Self...

Image
This video was posthumously published - RIP Avatar Polymorph.  The question of boosting the intelligence of animals other than humans, to the level of self-awareness and consciousness, is one that cannot be considered in isolation from the general process at work in the social and speculative movement known as Transhumanism. Transhumanism is partly about augmentation of the human body, for example by molecular computational nanotechnology (cell repair and DNA repair molecular machines, and rod logic molecular supercomputers for enhanced memory). More generally is is the movement to ‘self-directed’ evolution (replacing evolution by random mutation and natural selection). This was pointed out by myself in 1996 and by Damien Broderick in his book The Spike, which was the first popular book on the idea of the ‘technological Singularity’ (a time when technology surges forward based on accelerating computing). This is a radical movement away from evolution as we understand it, and unchos
