Yet another full house at our monthly community seminar! Today’s seminar features our Chief Scientific Officer, Malene Hansen, PhD talking about “Out With the Old, In with the New”.
Dr. Hansen studies autophagy, which is a fancy word for your body’s built-in recycling system—it cleans out damaged or worn-out parts of your cells and turns them into fresh energy or building blocks for new cells. Think of it as cellular spring cleaning that keeps you healthy from the inside out. Scientists are excited about autophagy because it plays a key role in aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart disease. Dr. Hansen will talk about how, by boosting this natural process, we might be able to slow aging and help people live longer, healthier lives. Registration for next month’s seminar on Feb 4 opens today at noon PT. Buckinstitute.org/events/lblseminars
