Aging has long been regarded as an inevitable part of life. Today, however, new discoveries in biology are beginning to challenge long-held assumptions about what may be possible.
In this talk, David Sinclair will discuss the scientific breakthroughs reshaping our understanding of aging, from laboratory discoveries to the first human clinical trials aimed at restoring function and addressing age-related decline. He will also reflect on what these advances could mean for the future of medicine, health, and the next generation of innovators.
