| Abstract: | Discover the science behind ageing and the societal impacts of extreme life expectancy. Is the first person to live to 1000 already alive today (as one of our panellists believes) and is it right to fund research into increasing our life spans to such levels? Listen to our panel present their views on this contentious topic, sponsored by the Babraham Institute. Our panel will include:
Mr Kenneth Howse; Oxford Institute of Ageing. Dr Aubrey de Grey; Methuselah Foundation. Dr Guy Brown; Biochemistry Department, University of Cambridge. Dr Klaus Okkenhaug; Babraham Institute, Cambridge |
