Metformin, Rapamycin Studies |TAME Project : This is the part 2 of our interview series with Dr. Nir Brazilai from Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Dr. Barzilai is the founding director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research and of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging.

Dr. Barzilai discovered the first longevity gene in humans and has since discovered several others. In addition to his “longevity gene” research, Dr. Barzilai studies key mechanisms involved in the biology of aging, including how nutrients and genetics influence lifespan. He is also investigating the physical and mental declines associated with aging and how they affect longevity.

He is the author of over 270 peer-reviewed papers and a recipient of numerous prestigious awards,including the recipient of the 2010 Irving S. Wright Award of Distinction in Aging Research and is the 2018 recipient of the IPSEN Longevity award.

Dr. Barzilai’s New Book - Age Later: Health Span, Life Span, and the New Science of Longevity In Age Later, the No.1 Best Sellers in Physiology section in Amazon, reveals the secrets his team has unlocked about SuperAgers and the scientific discoveries that show we can mimic some of their natural resistance to the aging process.

In this video Dr. Barzilai talks about some of the drugs that can effect the way that we age, in particular metformin and rapamycin. He introduces the TAME (Targeting Aging with Metformin) trial and discusses how the current pandemic highlights the need to better understand and combat the effects of aging.
