NYAS is hosting an aging lecture by gerontologist Aubrey de Grey this September. With healthcare being the topic of choice, life expectancy takes on an entirely different, costly meaning. Lets hope these later years are disease and pain free:

The End Of Aging

Presented by Science & the City and The Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence

Aubrey de Grey predicts that it’s only a matter of decades before regenerative medicine extends human life expectancy indefinitely. Join S&C to learn why de Grey believes the lifespans of even today’s 60-year-olds could be extended by 30 years.

Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based in Cambridge, UK, and is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Foundation, a nonprofit charity dedicated to combating the aging process. He is also Editor in Chief ofRejuvenation Research, the world’s highest-impact peer-reviewed journal focused on intervention in aging. His research interests encompass the causes of all the accumulating and eventually pathogenic molecular and cellular side-effects of metabolism (“damage”) that constitute mammalian aging and the design of interventions to repair and/or obviate that damage.
