A thorough primer on aging and longevity
Covers the biology and landscape. Learn how to distinguish hype from breakthroughs, the ecosystem of players working on research and its translation, and the major bottlenecks and challenges for the field.
Past work
Book
During my PhD I began practicing alternate-day fasting for health benefits. A serious scientist with an unusual dietary regime was interesting enough to receive coverage in Danish national newspapers, radio, and TV programs, and eventually resulted a book contract with People’s Press. The book covers the scientific data on intermittent fasting, as well as practical advice.
Academia
Previously, I studied aging biology in academia. My doctorate as an Elite Research travel scholar was in the Bohr lab at the National Institute on Aging, NIH, where I identified functional roles of proteins implicated in accelerated aging. As a postdoc I asked 'what actually happens during lifespan extension', at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. I received the NIH Pathway to Independence award to study inter-organ communication in aging but returned the award to start Gordian.
