Aubrey de Grey is an English biologist working in the field of Gerontology. Co-founder of the SENS Foundation, his research focuses on human longevity, or life extension. De Grey claims that within our lifetime, we will have developed methods that allow people to live to be 500-1000 years old, or more. His plan includes curing each of the 7 ways in which cells deteriorate and die, which theoretically would even allow old people to grow younger.
