The most important number in longevity (TEDxBoston 2025)

Reality-check on biological clocks, and how we could make them useful.

Some conversations

Academic work

Previously, I studied aging biology in academia. My doctorate as an Elite Research travel scholar was in the Bohr lab at the National Institute on Aging, NIH, where I identified functional roles of proteins implicated in accelerated aging. As a postdoc I asked 'what actually happens during lifespan extension', at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. I received the NIH Pathway to Independence award to study inter-organ communication in aging but returned the award to start Gordian.
