	Aubrey de Grey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aubrey de Grey (D.O.B April 20, 1963) is a biomedical gerontologist and bioinformatician at the Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, England.
		De Grey is Editor-in-Chief of the Rejuvenation Research journal, which deals with topics related to engineered negligible senescence.
		De Grey believes that once dramatic life extension of already middle-aged mice has been achieved, a large amount of funding will be diverted to this kind of research, which would accelerate progress in doing the same for humans.

	Engineered negligible senescence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Grey describes an "escape velocity" of life extension, when advances in senescence treatment come rapidly enough to save the lives of the oldest beneficiaries of the previous treatments.
		De Grey claims that the goals work together to eliminate known causes of human senescence, are concrete, seem achievable, and are considered feasible by experts in the applicable fields.
		De Grey believes that once this objective has been achieved in mice, a large amount of funding will be diverted to this kind of research, which would accelerate progress.

		De Grey is bringing his radical views on aging to the University of Alberta on Tuesday (February 15), where he will discuss the potential benefits of medical intervention in the aging process within our lifetime.
		De Grey’s theory is reasonably simple: aging in humans, he says, is caused by molecular and cellular damage that accumulates in the body over time, the end result of the basic processes, like digestion, that keep us alive.
		But de Grey believes that by using stem-cell manipulation, he can limit the accumulation of these by-products without affecting the processes themselves, which are beneficial to the body.

		I was prepared to understand very little, but de Grey only spoke for awhile on one of his proposed solutions to one of the seven types of damage–extracellular junk.
		Later de Grey said that this idea is the easiest to explain to non-specialists and that the others that he has personally worked on would have required far longer to introduce than the hour lecture format allowed.
		de Grey is attempting to jump start anti-aging interventions with the Methuselah Mouse Prize[s] for extending the lifespan of mice, inspired by the X Prize.

		Whether de Grey is a genius or a kook—MIT's no-nonsense Technology Review argued the latter, in a cover story and a bitchy editorial in February—he's the best thing to happen to aging research in a decade, since Cynthia Kenyon proved that tweaking the genes of roundworms made them live twice as long as usual.
		De Grey's premise seems sober enough: Aging, he says, is a set of mechanical processes that happen inside and around our cells, causing them to eventually die one by one.
		Before de Grey got interested in longevity, he was a computer programmer, a capacity in which his beard seems pretty normal.

		De Grey began reading the relevant literature in late 1995 and after only a few months had learned so much that he was able to explain previously unidentified influences affecting mutations in mitochondria, the intracellular structures that release energy from certain chemical processes necessary to cell function.
		As he surveyed the literature, de Grey reached the conclusion that there are seven distinct ingredients in the aging process, and that emerging understanding of molecular biology shows promise of one day providing appropriate technologies by which each of them might be manipulated—“perturbed,” in the jargon of biologists.
		De Grey has documented his contributions in the scientific literature, publishing scores of articles in an impressive array of journals, including those of the quality of Trends in Biotechnology and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, as well as contributing commentary and letters to other publications like Science and Biogerontology.

		Aubrey de Grey's wife is 60 years old, but he promises to get her up to 1,000.
		De Grey reckons he needs £1 billion over the next 10 years to produce "escape velocity": average age will be extended by a few decades to begin with, but further advances will be made, so that the potential age of a human being can be ratcheted all the way up to a thousand and beyond.
		Which is why de Grey has devised the Methuselah Mouse competition – which will be won by the first mouse (normal maximum age, three) to achieve the grand old age of five.

		Aubrey de Grey (born 1963) is a pioneering biogerontologist at the Universityof Cambridge in England who is currently working to expedite the development of atrue cure for human aging, a medical goal he refers to as engineered negligible senescence.
		Prior to his work as a biologist, de Grey was formally trained in computer science —a discipline that provided him with insight into thehuman aging problem and cellular biology in particular.
		De Grey's current work at Cambridge centers around a detailed plan called Strategies for Engineered NegligibleSenescence (SENS) which is aimed at preventing age-related physical and cognitive decline.

		de Grey earned his doctorate with a seminal work that overthrew previous thought on the role of mitochondria (the cellular 'power plants') in aging.
		But he eventually realized that even a solution to the problem of age-associated mitochondrial mutations would not lead to a final solution to the ongoing, seemingly-inevitable theft of health, dignity, and life by the aging process." His currently proposed solution took a few more years to gel into its present form.

		De Grey has challenged gerontologists to debate the merits of the SENS program, and has expressed his opinion that we are now at or near a historical "cusp"; those born after the cusp will be able to stay alive and youthful by adherence to the SENS strategy.
		Although de Grey's assertions have enjoyed wide circulation in the lay press, at scientific meetings, and in your own journal, it is fair to say that many experienced gerontologists still remain somewhat skeptical about his claims.
