Curious Minds Presents:

Aging & Longevity

Life well-lived: the promise of longevity science

Join us while we delve deeply into broad areas of aging & longevity and participate in riveting discussion.


We are fortunate to have Dr. Joel Rothman, Distinguished Professor, Wilcox Family Chair in Biotechnology, and founding Director of the Center for Aging and Longevity Studies at UC Santa Barbara.


Discussion Overview:

Humans are poised at the threshold of remarkable changes in their relationship with time, sparked by extraordinary advances in the science of aging and the discovery that its can be dramatically slowed and even reversed.  These advances mean that in the near future human health might be dramatically improved not by individually treating many different age-driven maladies, including cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases, but instead by treating only one: aging. Even more startling, research has revealed that it is possible to reverse many aspects of age-related decline.  These discoveries are leading to the development of interventions in the progression of aging, many of which are currently being tested in humans. Dr. Joel Rothman, Director and Founder of the Center for Aging and Longevity Studies (CALS) at UC Santa Barbara, will discuss the exciting breakthroughs in the rapidly advancing science of aging and longevity and will prompt us to consider societal and ethical issues that arise from the extension of healthy human longevity that it will inevitably make possible.


Biography:

Dr. Rothman received doctoral training at UC San Francisco and the University of Oregon and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Medical Research Council, Cambridge, UK. He has served as Chair of the Department of MCD Biology and Director of the Biomolecular Science and Engineering Program at UCSB and also as a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Prior to graduate studies, he was head winemaker at Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma, California and a classical music radio program announcer. For over three decades his laboratory has investigated aging, longevity, and regenerative medicine, supported by research grants from the National Institute on Aging and many other agencies. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
