Course Description

Is aging another disease that can be ultimately cured? We will look at the biology of aging, transitioning from the molecular level through to the cellular and systems level. What are age-related diseases, can lifespan be extended and are centenarians different? Additionally how can artificial intelligence create robotic and software assistants as we get older and is living forever is possible in any form ? Topics will include: molecular theories of aging, impact of oxidative stress, age-related diseases, artificial intelligence for longevity, and innovations to improve the quality of life as we age.
