    How to live longer? 3 Tips From a Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Who’s Fit and Healthy at 72

    Venki Ramakrishnan, 72, observes the aging of science and the explosion of media hype surrounding it.

    The Cambridge, UK-based microbiologist is a Nobel Prize winner for his work on the ribosome – where our cells make proteins using the information encoded in our genes – and a former president of the world’s oldest scientific academy, the Royal Society.

    In his new book Why we die he writes that in the last ten years alone, more than 300,000 scientific articles on aging have been published and more than 700 start-ups have invested tens of billions of dollars in aging research.
    There were real scientific breakthroughsdeepening our understanding of the fundamental causes of aging, says Ramakrishnan. But despite what the companies that have jumped on the bandwagon have you believe, “we’re not there yet” when it comes to translating this research into actual treatments, he says.

    The global market for therapies associated with longevity and anti-senescence (senescence means biological aging) was valued at US$25.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$44.2 billion by 2030 , according to Allied Market Research.
