Decoding Aging: The Science Of Cellular Rejuvenation With Dr. Vittorio Sebastiano
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, science
It was a career-defining (and perhaps life changing) moment when Dr. Vittorio Sebastiano, a reproductive biologist by training, realized that because we are able to create life, that same body of information could be harnessed to create youth — that is, radically reverse our biological aging process to a younger time point without losing cellular identity.
In 2014, he and his lab began unpacking this epiphany. They made the radical decision to conduct their investigations in human cells and tissue rather than in rodents, with the expectation that such a start would be a better bridge to human clinical trials.
