ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENTS

Aging: Science and Technology (Stanford University)

This course will begin with a survey of the biology of aging, starting with changes occurring at the molecular and cellular level and then analyzing the consequences at the systems level, including how age-related diseases manifest and their current clinical prognoses. From there we will transition to the biology of extending human lifespan, looking at research on how centenarians have managed to reach their advanced age. Lastly, we will take a deep dive into how technology could help us live longer through enhanced monitoring, predictive diets, and exercise regimens, as well as ways to store our memories and personalities after death.
