CAN WE DEFEAT AGING?

​An evening with Leon Peshkin, SPRIND | Université Côte d'Azur | Harvard University

​Can we really slow down aging? Despite decades of research and remarkable advances in biotechnology, we are still far from having effective treatments. Why?

​Join Leon Peshkin to explore how scientists measure aging, test potential longevity interventions, and use large-scale experiments to detect even small changes in lifespan. What makes aging so difficult to study, and what will it take to turn scientific discoveries into effective therapies?

​In the discussion that follows, we'll tackle some of the questions in longevity science: Can ovarian cells be renewed? Can AI accelerate aging research? Why haven't senolytics and other geroprotectors delivered on their promise? We'll end the evening with an open Q&A and networking with scientists, entrepreneurs, and longevity enthusiasts.
