Live Long and Prosper: A Surgeon’s Field Report from Singapore’s Healthy Longevity Summit
I’ve just returned from the Unlock Healthy Longevity Conference in Singapore — where serious clinicians, researchers, and biotech builders are trying to turn longevity from philosophy into measurable intervention.
Longevity science is maturing. Some mechanisms are holding up. Some interventions are gaining real traction. Others remain elegant but unproven. I’ll share what felt genuinely robust, what’s still speculative, and how the field fits into the longer historical arc of aging research.
I’ve spent my career as a surgeon treating age-related and disease-related eye conditions — watching, up close, what biological decline actually looks like. Increasingly, my focus has shifted upstream: how do we extend healthspan before pathology sets in?
My quiet goal since medical school has been simple:
live to 130. To live long and prosper.
