“We know we can extend the life span of mammals, There is no reason to believe
that we couldn't do the same today in humans.”
refJudith Campisi, Ph.D.
“...it’s possible that we could change a human gene and double our life span.”
refCynthia Kenyon Ph.D.
The ability to directly study the mechanisms that regulate lifespan creates enormous possibilities for future work and potential interventions.”
Chris Sell - Competitor
“I am convinced that longevity will increase faster than people expect in this century.
The science is ripe, good people are getting into the field, and as we understand
mechanisms there will be many ways to intervene.”
Bruce Ames Ph.D.
“Over the next 10 to 20 years we will likely find many ways to intervene in the
human biological processes of aging that will prolong the health-span.”
refCaleb Finch Ph.D
“I am absolutely convinced we are going to be able to extend human life, this is not science fiction.”
refTom Johnson Ph.D.
“Few people not directly involved in gerontological research are fully aware
of the exciting developments in the study of aging and what I feel is the very
real prospect of devising effective means of postponing age-related disease
and functional decline and yes, prolonging life.”
Andrzej Bartke Ph.D.Prize Record Holder
“Mankind will postpone human aging substantially in the future, doubling the
human lifespan at least, when we have accomplished this we will be ashamed that we did
not work on it much sooner..(from the ABCseries 'Future Fantastic'”
refMichael Rose Ph.D.
“it's not a question of if, but when, and where and how [aging interventions] will arrive.”
refGregory Stock Ph.D.
“It's not just better medical care, it's advances [in research] that will
allow us to really slow down aging ... People have wanted it forever, and
now here it is. Now that we have all these research tools, we can work on it seriously.”
refSteve Austad Ph.D.
“I personally am very enthusiastic about the prospect that, at some time
in the future, we may be able to intervene in some way in the aging process of humans.”
refS. Jay Olshansky Ph.D.
“We know now that ageing is neither inevitable nor necessary.”
refDr. Tom Kirkwood
“Key genetic, molecular, and nutritional discoveries have been made and can now extend human life-span in current and future generations.”
