A curated aggregator reporting only on longevity, anti-aging, and AI-driven healthspan science — sourced from the institutions and governments driving the field, with a dedicated dossier on Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard University.

Harvard University

David A. Sinclair, A.O., Ph.D.

Tenured Professor, Department of Genetics — Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research, Harvard Medical School

David Sinclair is best known for his work on understanding why we age and how to slow its effects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics at the University of New South Wales in 1995 and trained as a postdoctoral researcher at M.I.T. with Dr. Leonard Guarente, where he co-discovered a cause of aging in yeast and the role of Sir2 in epigenetic changes driven by genome instability. In 1999 he joined Harvard Medical School, where he has taught aging biology and translational medicine for over two decades. He is co-founder of several biotechnology companies, co-founder and co-chief editor of the journal Aging, an inventor on over 50 patents, and a recipient of more than 35 awards — including TIME's "100 Most Influential People in the World."

David Sinclair's 2026 Longevity Supplement Protocol

2026

Sinclair's personal regimen targets the hallmarks of aging: 1g NMN and 1g resveratrol daily, plus metformin, spermidine, quercetin and vitamins D3/K2 — each backed by his lab's research on NAD+, sirtuins and senescence.

Reversing Neurodegenerative Disease (NICE Mouse)

2022

The NICE mouse (neuronal inducible changes in the epigenome) models epigenetic changes in the aging brain. The lab targets drivers of neuronal degeneration to prevent, slow, or reverse diseases like Alzheimer's.

Uncovering the Human Secretome

2021

An NIH Director's Pioneer Award pipeline combining math, proteomics, mass spectrometry and high-throughput screening to discover thousands of putative peptide-coding genes — potential hormones to treat common and rare diseases.

Epigenetic Reprogramming to Reverse Age

2020

Using reprogramming factors to reset a cell's epigenetic state and reverse its age. Human-compatible viral vectors deliver the factors to tissues, accelerating wound healing and nerve regeneration — with companion-animal and human therapies in view.

The Information Theory of Aging

2019

Proposes that aging is driven by the loss of epigenetic information — that cells lose their identity over time — and that this process is reversible. The foundation for Sinclair's age-reversal research.

Delaying Menopause & Reversing Female Infertility

2018

Using ovarian stem cells and aging/metabolism insights to reactivate oocyte production — aiming to treat premature ovarian failure, chemotherapy-induced infertility, and extend the healthy fertile period for women.

NAD+ Boosting and Sirtuins

2014

NAD+ levels decline with age, reducing SIRT1 activity and DNA repair. The lab studies NAD+-boosting molecules (e.g. NMN) to restore healthspan; human clinical trials are ongoing.

The Mitochondrial Oasis Hypothesis

2009

Miscommunication between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes drives age-related physiological decline. Mitochondrial NAD+ levels dictate cell survival, and NAD+ leakage from mitochondria may cause aging and memory loss.

The RCM Hypothesis & the ICE Mouse

2008

The Relocalization of Chromatin Modifiers hypothesis: DNA damage pulls epigenetic regulators away from their genes, causing lasting gene-expression changes. The inducible ICE mouse model accelerates and studies this aging process.

Resveratrol & Sirtuin-Activating Compounds (STACs)

2003

Discovery of small molecules that activate SIRT1 — starting with resveratrol in 2003. Potent STACs have since entered clinical trials with positive results, targeting multiple age-related diseases with a single mechanism.
