Promising Aging Interventions - Now Future - Prof Pinchas Cohen Ep7
Episode description
In this episode Dr Cohen talks about the current interventions that he sees as having the most potential but also about the need for precision medicine as there are many causes for Alzheimer's, diabetes etc. and to treat the disease we need to understand the underlying cause. This also would involve changes in the way trials are run, to be able to identify the markers appropriate for each intervention
