For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no-one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. That's because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In Lifespan, Dr David Sinclair, one of the world’s foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that.

Bis vor kurzem wusste die Wissenschaft nicht, warum und wie Lebewesen altern. Seit einigen Jahren fließen Milliarden in die Altersforschung; mit dem wachsenden Verständnis für die Funktionsweise des Epigenoms lösen sich viele Rätsel um die Entwicklung und die Veränderungen von Zellen und Organismen im Laufe des Lebens. David A. Sinclair ist Professor für Genetik an der Harvard Medical School und Pionier der epigenetischen Medizin. In diesem Buch erklärt er, auf welche Weise man Gesundheit und Lebensdauer steigern kann. Unser Epigenom nimmt über die Jahrzehnte Schaden.

David was born and raised in the U.K. and after a somewhat uninteresting series of jobs, was bitten by the broadcasting bug in late 1965. After the closure of the pirate radio scene he emigrated to Canada and worked in both commercial radio and television. Although now retired, he still does the occasional voice-over.
