Plasticity of the Age - Irina Conboy

Bird-eye view on aging and rejuvenation science given by Irina Conboy, Professor of Bioengineering, UC Berkeley.

Recorded during the technical competition, Atomic Precision for Longevity, held September 8-9, 2018, in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, California.

About Atomic Precision for Longevity:

Specialists in research areas related to increasing human longevity collaborated with those tackling the challenges of atomically-precise 3D structures and molecular machines, including construction pathways using biochemistry organic/inorganic chemistry, protein design, DNA objects, applied physics, molecular biology, computational chemistry, and engineering.

Areas addressed included malformed proteins, extracellular crosslinks, cell loss and atrophy, senescent cells, cancer, mitochondrial mutations, along with the roles of stem cells and gene therapy.

Participants were specifically selected to participate due to unique perspectives on these topics arising from their research.
