The Biology of Aging: How to Live Past 100 Regenerative Medicine

Explores how modern science is overturning the old idea that aging is simply inevitable “wear and tear.” Drawing on evolutionary biology, landmark longevity research, and emerging clinical data, Dr. Robert Lufkin explains why single cells can be biologically immortal, why multicellular organisms age, and how those programs may be modified. The talk reviews evidence-based lifestyle strategies that slow aging, examines promising pharmacologic approaches such as rapamycin, and introduces cutting-edge interventions including partial epigenetic reprogramming and mitochondrial transplantation. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for understanding aging at its biological roots—and a practical, science-grounded roadmap for extending healthspan and functional longevity well into later life.
