Dr Greg Bailey, co-founder and CEO of Juvenescence, a biotech company focusing on preventing age related diseases interviews Professor Linda Partridge on nutrition and healthy ageing. Prof Linda Partridge is a world-renowned geneticist and the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, Germany. Diet plays a major role in humankind living longer. Greg and Linda debate diet techniques from ketosis to fasting and how they can help our overall health.  https://www.thelongevityforum.com

The Nutritious Side of Longevity with Linda Partridge and Greg Bailey

Professor Dame Linda Partridge, director of the UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing, delivered a fascinating lecture on “The Science of Healthy Ageing”. Recent work has shown that ageing is malleable to genetic, dietary and pharmacological intervention. She described work in her own laboratory to create an inducible model of Alzheimer’s disease using fruit flies, which shows very similar pathology to the human condition. These findings have opened the way to discovering drugs capable of producing a broad-spectrum improvement in the health of older people. The 78th Stephen Paget Memorial Lecture was given at the Wellcome Collection in London in December.        The Lecture was established in 1927 following the death of Stephen Paget, founder of UAR forerunner, the Research Defence Society. Past Paget Lecturers have included Nobel Laureates Sir Howard Florey and Sir Peter Medawar, and renowned evolutionary biologist and science writer Professor Steve Jones. The inaugural Understanding Animal Research Openness Awards for animal research were given immediately preceding the lecture.

The Science of Healthy Ageing by Professor Linda Partridge - Paget Lecture 2014

Will we ever be able to escape the diseases of old age?That's the aim of today's guest, Prof Dame Linda Partridge who studies the genetics of ageing. From fruit flies to nematode worms, she uses simple organisms to unmask the secret processes that cause our bodies to deteriorate as we get older.But her route into science was far from normal - growing up in a Catholic convent boarding school, the girls were encouraged to be good housewives rather than diligent scientists. However, the lack of science facilities and teachers meant that the students had to run their own laboratory, ordering chemicals and tending to equipment.It was the start of a long and successful career, which has culminated in Linda becoming the Founding Director of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany and the Institute of Healthy Ageing at University College, London.Her life's goal is to produce pharmacological treatments that will help people stay healthier in old age. But what are the social and economic impacts of our growing longevity?Producer: Michelle Martin.
