The Dog Aging Project that aims at Helping Dogs Live Longer | 68 - DAP #2

In this episode, Matt dives into the project's winding 10-year history, which includes navigating the vagaries of government funding, handling skepticism from fellow academics, and managing clinical trial enrollment in the midst of a global pandemic. He provides a candid peek into the logistical coordination, interdisciplinary collaboration, and leadership required to run a large-scale, ambitious scientific project such as the DAP, and the necessity of articulating clear and compelling goals that can rally support from both the scientific community and funding bodies. The DAP is a study of canine health and longevity aimed at understanding how dogs—and, eventually, humans—age. The project has two broad goals: to help us understand the biology of aging, and to enable us to do something about it. A third goal that often goes unmentioned, but is (to some) no less important, is to give us more time with furry friends who often become part of the family. The DAP has grown to become the world's largest study of aging.

I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it. On this podcast I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!
