What follows is a brief summary of some of the highlights of their research efforts as well as the details of the AMA, in which you can ask Aubrey anything you like about his work.<\/p>\n<p>Today, there are many drugs and therapies that we take for granted. However, we should not forget that what is common and easily accessible today didn\u2019t just magically appear out of thin air; rather, at some point, it used to be an unclear subject of study on which \u201cmore research was needed\u201d, and even earlier, it was just a conjecture in some researcher\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, one day not too far into the future, rejuvenation biotechnologies will be as normal and widespread as aspirin is today, but right now, we\u2019re in the R&amp;D phase, so we should be patient and remind ourselves that the fact that we can\u2019t rejuvenate people today doesn\u2019t mean that nothing is being done or has been achieved to that end. On the contrary, we are witnessing exciting progress in basic research\u2014the fundamental building blocks without which rejuvenation, or any new technology at all, would stay a conjecture.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/sens-research-progress\/\">https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/sens-research-progress\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given there is to be a Reddit AMA on December 7th with Dr. Aubrey de Grey in the futurology subreddit, we thought it was a great time to have a look at the progress the SENS Research Foundation has made in tackling the aging processes.
