In this respect, de Grey has identified seven types of molecular and cellular damage caused by essential metabolic processes SENS is a proposed panel of therapies designed to repair this damage. The non-profit he founded works on the development of what he calls “strategies for engineered negligible senescence,” a collection of proposed techniques to rejuvenate the human body and stop aging. De Grey, who founded SENS in 2003 and was an early advocate of regenerative medicine to stop aging, is considered an anti-aging pioneer, and has often said the focus is not indefinite life, it’s trying to prevent people from getting sick when they age.
He is author of The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) and coauthor of Ending Aging (2007). English biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey is the chief science officer at SENS Research Foundation and vice president of New Technology Discovery at AgeX Therapeutics, Inc.
