[quote]Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey
(/dəˈɡreɪ/; born 20 April 1963 is an English
author and biomedical gerontologist, currently the Chief Science
Officer of the SENS Research Foundation. He is editor-in-chief
of the academic journal Rejuvenation Research, author of The
Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) and co-author
of Ending Aging (2007). He is known for his view that medical
technology may enable human beings alive today to live
indefinitely.
De Grey's research focuses on whether regenerative medicine can
prevent the aging process. He works on the development of what
he calls "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence"
(SENS), a collection of proposed techniques to rejuvenate the
human body and stop aging. To this end, he has identified seven
types of molecular and cellular damage caused by essential
metabolic processes. SENS is a proposed panel of therapies
designed to repair this damage.
De Grey is an international adjunct professor of the Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology, a fellow of the
Gerontological Society of America, the American Aging
Association, and the Institute for Ethics and Emerging
Technologies. He has been interviewed in recent years in a
number of news sources, including CBS 60 Minutes, the BBC, The
New York Times, Fortune Magazine, The Washington Post, TED,
Popular Science, The Colbert Report, Time and the Skeptics'
Guide to the Universe. He is also a member of Flooved advisory
board.[/quote]
