UA College of Science Lecture Series - Bring a Guest

Seven of the top ten causes of death — Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, cancer — share a single risk factor: age. Our current "sick care" system waits for disease to strike, then tries to fix it. Aging science offers a different approach.

In this talk, Dr. George Sutphin will explain how researchers are targeting the biological processes that drive aging, aiming to prevent many of our most common diseases simultaneously while extending healthspan—the healthy, functional years of life.

This shift from reactive treatment to prevention, from addressing diseases individually to targeting their shared root cause, represents a coming revolution in healthcare. Discover how understanding aging can transform medicine.
