Dr. Nir Barzilai - Anti Aging: from Hope to Promise

..and it's a promise which is being implemented - large increases in funding is being poured in to treating aging directly - and here Dr. Nir Barzilai discusses the hallmarks of aging, all of which can be treated. He further discusses the need to solve fundamental issues associated with old age instead of only solving one disease at a time - as evidenced by the rapid accumulation of diseases after 60 years of age. He also discusses the ethics of reducing suffering related to old age and whether aging should be called a disease.

Dr. Nir Barzilai is the founding director of the Institute for Aging Research, the Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging and the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University.
