Скачать или смотреть Aging and Stem Cells | Theodore Ho | TEDxMiddlebury

Dr. Theodore Ho talks about the rapidly expanding possibilities of stem cells to be used in reversing or slowing the aging process. He discusses his previous and current work with the brain, including such methods as tissue clearing, multifiber photometry and optogenetics, and single resolution calcium imaging and control. Dr. Ho is a neuroscientist and stem cell biologist
studying the mechanisms and causes of biological aging and potential
strategies to slow or reverse them, in order to prevent the onset of age-
associated diseases to help us live healthier and longer lives.
He completed a four-year joint bachelor’s/master’s degree program in
Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology/Bioengineering at
Harvard University, and he received his PhD in Biophysics from the
University of California San Francisco, studying stem cell aging in the
lab of Dr. Emmanuelle Passegue. In college he developed a
nanoparticle drug delivery system, in graduate school he discovered
previously unknown mechanisms of cellular and molecular aging of
stem cells, and now in the Deisseroth lab he is using optical recording
and perturbation of neuronal activity to study neural circuit dynamics
that control behavior. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
