Is aging a disease that we can actually treat?
In short: In this session, Harvard genetics professor David Sinclair, PhD, explores the biological mechanisms of aging. Discover his provocative argument that aging is a treatable disease and learn whether science might eventually slow or even reverse the aging process.
This discussion features David Sinclair, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, addressing questions about the nature of aging and age-associated diseases. Drawing from his book "Lifespan," Sinclair posits that aging should be viewed as a disease rather than an inevitability.
The conversation focuses on the potential for medical intervention to influence how we age. By reframing aging as a treatable condition, Sinclair opens a dialogue on whether human longevity can be extended or even reversed through scientific advancement.
