Aubrey de Grey

Chairman of The Methuselah Foundation and the main architect of the Methuselah Mouse Prize structure, is a biologist and computer scientist at the Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, UK.

His major research interests are the role and etiology of oxidative damage in mammalian aging, including both mitochondrial and extracellular free radical production and damage, and the design of interventions to retard and reverse the age-related accumulation of oxidative and other damage.

He has published extensively on these and other areas of gerontology. He has also coordinated a series of meetings and articles, collectively termed the SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) initiative, in which noted experts in many areas of gerontology have joined to critique the prevailing pessimism regarding the prospect of meaningful intervention in human aging in the foreseeable future.
