Forever young? Biotech’s next frontier
For Aubrey de Grey, the best known longevity thought leader and chief science officer of the Silicon Valley-based SENS Research Foundation, Covid-19 has made the case clear: we must make elderly people in our populations more resilient.
“It is completely unarguable that ageing is bad for you,” says Mr de Grey, a self-proclaimed provocateur and committed scientist. Almost mystical in appearance, he stands at the crossroads of the mainstream and peripheral – where the longevity sub-sector itself can also be found.

Video from Abundance 360 Strategic Summit: Longevity and Vitality
The annual Abundance 360 strategic summit takes place every year at the end of January in Beverly Hills, California. Over three action-packed days, Peter prepares members for the year ahead, discussing transformative exponential technologies and what they mean for your business, industry, family and humanity.
What it is:
Every year since 2015, Peter has brought a curated cadre of longevity leaders to A360 to update members on the latest breakthroughs and opportunities. This unmissable module helps you understand the current state of longevity research and what’s coming to market in the decade ahead.
Why it’s important:
One of Peter’s greatest missions is to extend the healthy human lifespan, to make 100 years old the new 60. Constantly tracking innovation in the longevity and vitality field, he has founded a number of companies, and invested in numerous technologies in pursuit of this Moonshot. This module isn’t just about sharing research breakthroughs — it’s also about mindset. How does your decision-making change if you can reasonably expect to live another 30 to 50 healthy years?
Obesity linked to 12 cancers
Obesity plays a role in as many as 12 types of cancer, according to a major analysis of the causes of the disease.
The report by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) found that while smoking remains the biggest cause of cancer, it may soon be overtaken by obesity in many countries, including the UK. In an earlier version of the report, released a decade ago, the WCRF identified seven cancers linked to obesity. Now, it says, the evidence points to 12: liver, ovaries,
prostate (advanced), stomach, mouth and throat, bowel, breast (post menopause), gall bladder, kidney, oesophagus, pancreas and womb. The report says that up to four in ten cancer cases are preventable, and urges non-smokers to adopt a ten-point health plan, which includes cutting down on bacon and processed meats, being physically active and reducing alcohol intake.
