Dr. Aubrey de Grey, a biomedical gerontologist, is one of the leading figures in global aging research and a strong advocate in all aspects of the field, from research, investment, to supporting public policy regarding aging. His provocative view that medical technology will one day enable humans to control the aging process and live healthily into our hundreds or longer, is becoming less radical these days. Today, both the academic and private sectors are racing to tackle aging, helping the longevity sector to become one of the most attractive areas to invest in.

In this podcast Aubrey talks to IIOL about the following:
•	His own definition of aging?
•	The most disruptive innovations in the sector.
•	How will the healthcare industry change in the future?

Age Science In A Nutshell

Dr. Mario Martinez is a licensed U.S. clinical neuropsychologist and bestselling author of the book The MindBody Code: How to Change the Beliefs that Limit your Health, Longevity and Success. He is also a founder of the Biocognitive Science Institute and lectures worldwide on his research on the theory of biocognition. Mario has researched centenarians on five continents and has identified a cultural component of longevity and suggests that rather than genetics, healthy longevity is mostly due to cultural beliefs. 
 
In today’s podcast, Dr. Martinez elaborates on the difference between aging and getting old.
