NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this to for medical advice. Aging remains an emerging field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Ageing has a biology that can be targeted to extend lifespan, quality of life and delay the onset of age-related disease.
We are more imaginative as kids, but we don’t really see ourselves looking like our grandparents… As a child, Nir was intrigued by becoming old. He became a physician and then a Gero-scientist, and was amongst the pioneers that moved the field from hope to promise. He is now the leader of the biggest center in the world for the biology of aging at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is a founder of a biotech and venture capital, creating drugs that target ageing. He has been an advisor to the government to figure out how to modulate the process of ageing. He is leading a study aimed to get FDA approval for a drug that can prevent diseases of ageing. He will tell us more about the possibility to have a longer life span by ageing later. www.einstein.yu.edu/faculty/4... Dr. Nir Barzilai is the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research and of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging. He is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research, professor in the Departments of Medicine and Genetics, and member of the Diabetes Research Center and of the Divisions of Endocrinology & Diabetes and Geriatrics.
Dr. Barzilai’s research interests are in the biology and genetics of aging. He has received numerous grants, among them ones from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), American Federation for Aging Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation and The Glenn Medical foundation.
Born in Israel, Dr. Barzilai served as chief medic and physician in the Israel Defense Forces. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This is exactly what I am telling to my family, especially to my husband who just recently take Vitruvin NMN with me. We imagined how amazing it will be to still hug and kiss our lovely grandchildren when we reach 90. So grateful to this supplement!

We've been heading for much longer lives ever since mortality started to drop in 1700 in Western Europe. It's the natural extension of a 300-year trend.

It is. Ageing is the decline of the living body. It should be prevented.
