About Vince Giuliano

Being a follower, connoisseur, and interpreter of longevity research is my latest career, since 2007. I believe I am unique among the researchers and writers in the aging sciences community in one critical respect. That is, I personally practice the anti-aging interventions that I preach and that has kept me healthy, young, active and highly involved at my age, now 93. I am as productive as I was at age 45. I don’t know of anybody else active in that community in my age bracket. In particular, I have focused on the importance of controlling chronic inflammation for healthy aging, and have written a number of articles on that subject in this blog. In 2014, I created a dietary supplement to further this objective. In 2019, two family colleagues and I started up Synergy Bioherbals, a dietary supplement company that is now selling this product. In earlier reincarnations of my career. I was Founding Dean of a graduate school and a full University Professor at the State University of New York, a senior consultant working in a variety of fields at Arthur D. Little, Inc., Chief Scientist and C00 of Mirror Systems, a software company, and an international Internet consultant. I got off the ground with one of the earliest PhD's from Harvard in a field later to become known as computer science. Because there was no academic field of computer science at the time, to get through I had to qualify myself in hard sciences, so my studies focused heavily on quantum physics. In various ways I contributed to the Computer Revolution starting in the 1950s and the Internet Revolution starting in the late 1980s. I am now engaged in doing the same for The Longevity Revolution. I have published something like 200 books and papers as well as over 430 substantive.entries in this blog, and have enjoyed various periods of notoriety. If you do a Google search on Vincent E. Giuliano, most if not all of the entries on the first few pages that come up will be ones relating to me. I have a general writings site at www.vincegiuliano.com and an extensive site of my art at www.giulianoart.com. Please note that I have recently changed my mailbox to vegiuliano@agingsciences.com.

Terminator stem cells in the early pipeline

Posted on 13. December 2009 by Vince Giuliano

The concept here is engineering stem cells so they differentiate into body cells that target, go after and kill “bad” cells, such as cells infected with HIV or cancer cells.  It is a fairly new approach.  Since stem cells have … Continue reading →

Brain-activated speech synthesis

Posted on 12. December 2009 by Vince Giuliano

I remember an old Star Trek movie where severely debilitated people without functional vocal chords could readily speak to each other by merely thinking their sentences.  Recent research is bringing us closer to having such a capability.  The article A … Continue reading →

Diet and cognition

Posted on 10. December 2009 by Vince Giuliano

I set out two days ago to see what updated research I could find on diet and cognition.  I found a bewildering array of items, some somewhat contradictory.  It has been a cognitive challenge to make sense of them, especially … Continue reading →

Personalized medicine and genetic drug interactions – another long way to go

Posted on 6. December 2009 by Vince Giuliano

One hope for personalized medicine is that individuals would have their major gene variations profiled and that drug interactions with critical genes would also be profiled.  Thus, a person with a particular disease could determine whether a particular drug is … Continue reading →

The curious case of l-carnosine

Posted on 30. November 2009 by Vince Giuliano

I became fascinated with l-carnosine about ten years ago.  Back then, this substance seemed capable of doing more or less what telomerase activators are hoped to be doing now – greatly extending the replicative life spans of certain body cells.  … Continue reading →

Light metals may not lengthen lives but heavy metals can certainly shorten them.  Toxicity due to heavy metals can inadvertently come about many ways: drinking slightly acid water that has passed through lead pipes, eating too much mercury-containing tuna and … Continue reading →
