#19 - Dr. Michael Levin | Can Bioelectrical Signals Reverse Aging?

Dr. Michael Levin is an American developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University where he heads his own lab. He also directs the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology.

His groundbreaking research focuses on bioelectrical signals that dictate the collective intelligence of cells and direct it to form tissues and organs. His work on bioelectric signals has important applications for how we understand cancer, regenerative medicine and even aging. In fact, he is collaborating with David Sinclair to see how his work can be applied to reverse aging.

Michael Levin’s work is fascinating and will surely leave you thinking. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
