Church mentioned human trials in 2 years a few months ago. this is the first I have seen him say that in 10 years the reversal of aging will be a reality. That\u2019ll make me 55. Hurry.<\/p>\n

While discussing creating a hybrid elephant \u2014 wooly mammoth using CRISPR genome editing, Harvard\u2019s George Church predicted that reversal of aging will be a reality within ten years.<\/p>\n

Nextbigfuture suspects that this could mean clearly reversing aging in mice cells as a proof in principle in ten years. But evidence suggests Church does mean full and significant aging reversal in humans within ten years. In March of 2016 Church said, aging should be thought of as a program that might be reversed, noting, \u201cIf we could take one of my skin cells and turn it into an embryo-like cell<\/a> and turn it back into a skin cell it has reset almost all of the developmental indications of age. We have 65 gene therapies that are being test in mice and larger animals. If they go well we will go straight into human trials. That could be as little as two years\u2026<\/p>\n

In June 2016, Church indicated that first phase I aging reversal human trials could be in a year or two.<\/a><\/p>\n
