H+ Academy Roundtable Features Dr. Michael Rose

Posted by in categories: life extension, robotics/AI

Dr. Michael Rose is an evolutionary biologist and authority in gerontology. His many years of research and keen insight establish unique methods to frame the problems of aging. Michael made scientific history with experiments manipulating the life spans of fruit flies. As a pragmatist, Michael sees beyond today’s quick fixes to examine what could be the most important changes in the longevity industry to slow down and stop aging. His view is that genomics in conjunction with machine learning is the future of longevity.
