Modern Healthspan

In this show, Dr. Kennedy discusses the work he is doing in Singapore where he is taking a very practical approach to try and show, without long and expensive trials, what interventions work for extending healthspan in humans. He covers his work with the government and the trials that he will be running.

From 2010 to 2016, he was the President and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. He remains a Professor at the Institute. Dr. Kennedy is internationally recognised for his research into the biology of aging and for his work to translate research discoveries into new ways of delaying, detecting, and preventing human aging and its associated diseases. At National Univeristy of Singapore , Dr. Kennedy’s broader goals are to develop new interventions to target human aging and to validate their efficacy in humans. And ultimately, to create strategies to promote their widespread use.
