Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey (nacido el 20 de Abril de 1963) is an English author and theoretician in the field of gerontology and the Director científico of the SENS de la Fundación. He is editor-in-chief of the academic journal Rejuvenation Research, author of The Mitocondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) y co-author of Ending de Envejecimiento (2007). De Grey's research focuses on whether regenerative medicine can thwart the aging process. He works on the development of what he calls "Strategies for Ingeniería Negligible Senescence" (SENS), a tissue repair strategy intended to rejuvenate the human body and allow a indefinite lifespan. To this end, he has identificado con seven types of molecular and cellular damage caused by essential metabólico de procesos. SENS is a proposed panel de terapias designed to repair this damage. An article about SENS published in the viewpoint section of EMBO Reports by 28 scientists concluded that none of de Grey's therapies "has ever been shown to extend the lifespan of any organism, let alone humans". The SENS de la Fundación, of which de Grey es lo que a co-founder, seems to agree with the EMBO Report as it unidos, "If you want to reverse the damage of aging, right now i'm afraid the simple answer is you can't", Nonetheless, De Grey argues that this reveals a serious pac en understanding between basic scientists and technologists and between biologists studying aging and those studying regenerative medicine. The 15 miembros de Research Advisory Board of his own SENS de la Fundación have signed a endorsement of the plausibility of the SENS approach. De Grey is a fellow of the Gerontological Society of America, the American Envejecimiento Association, the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, y en adviser to the Singularity Institute. He has been entrevistado en recent years in a number of news sources, including CBS 60 Minutes, the BBC, The New York Times, la Revista Fortune, The Washington Post, TED, Popular Science, The Colbert Report, Time, and the Escépticos' Guide to the Universe.
