Translating Aging

We’re gratified to see Translating Aging at the top of the list of aging & longevity podcasts at AgingBiotech.info. Many thanks to our friend Karl R. Pfleger for compiling and updating this incredible resource for anyone seeking to learn more about the latest in geroscience and longevity biotech. As we gear up for the 2024 season — our fourth! — now is a great time to check out our back episodes. (Our most recent show, an interview with aging pioneer Cynthia Kenyon, is a good place to start for newcomers seeking historical background on our field!) New content coming soon, so make sure you're subscribed. Thanks for listening! https://lnkd.in/gb9x5pYe

“We believe every human has the right to live a longer, healthier life.” The Hevolution Foundation is a global non-profit organization that funds research and entrepreneurship in healthspan science, and has already become a major force in the field. This week on Translating Aging, Hevolution CEO Mehmood Khan tells the story of the foundation’s origins, its mission, and his vision for how the science of aging can revolutionize health care around the world.

Thirty years ago this week, Cynthia Kenyon published a groundbreaking paper entitled “A C. elegans mutant that lives twice as long as wild type”—revealing that lifespan is under genetic control. That study, along with others published around the same time, have led some observers of the field to identify the early 90s as the dawn of the modern biology of aging. In this episode, Dr. Kenyon shares her perspective on how our field has grown and changed over the past three decades. Translating Aging is produced by BioAge Labs, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing drugs to treat human disease and extend healthspan by targeting the molecular mechanisms of aging.
