Longevity - Aubrey de Grey's View (AntiAgeingConference.com) "The central goal of his biogerontology work is to expedite the development of a true cure for human aging. In his view, the main obstacle to developing such technology is the position of biogerontology at the boundary between basic science and medicine: the fundamental knowledge necessary to develop truly effective anti-aging medicine mostly exists, but the goal-directed frame of mind that is best suited to turning research findings into tools is very different from the curiosity-driven ethos that generated those findings in the first place. As a scientist with a training in an engineering discipline (computer science), he is unusually well placed to bridge this gap. He attempt to do so in three main ways: basic biogerontology research, identify and promote specific technological approaches to the reversal (not merely the prevention) of various aspects of aging, and argue in a wide range of fora (extending well beyond biologists) for the adoption of a more proactive approach to extending the healthy human lifespan sooner rather than later.
