Michael Ringel, JD PhD

Why is there such interest in longevity and healthy aging now? Is there real science behind it, or just hype? How big of a change could it mean, from interventions as parochial as wellness and supplements, to emerging technologies like epigenetic reprogramming? What could it mean for us personally and society as a whole?

Answers to these questions and more are available from an engaging presentation and discussion with Dr. Michael Ringel, a TED speaker and leading expert on the topic. Dr. Ringel spent 25 years at Boston Consulting Group, where he was Managing Director and Senior Partner leading Research and Product Development, where he focused on the topic. He helped found Life Biosciences, a leading company in the space, and is on the Boards of top philanthropies in the space, like Hevolution Foundation and the American Federation for Aging Research.

After this session, you will have an excellent understanding of:

• What's real and what's hype
• What it can mean for society, and how soon
• What you, personally, can do today to advance your own health and to get more involved in the field
