Dr. Kaeberlein sits down with Dr. Bonnie LaFleur, Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Arizona, to discuss the randomized clinical trial she is leading. This trial, funded by philanthropy from R. Ken Coit, will enroll more than 700 older adults to determine whether rapamycin improves resilience and immune aging.

Hi, I'm Matt Kaeberlein. I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.
On this channel I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!
