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 96. 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. As of November 2025, I believe the longevity interventions I have already published in this blog and are being followed by me will easily get me to age 100 and somewhat beyond, still healthy, highly functional and working Further, I have been researching and will be pubishing about additional interventions which I expect will buy me several additional years of active healthy living. 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.

Big pharma is targeting cancer stem cells

I have written about cancer stem cells several times in this blog, but many oncologists and cancer researchers still see cancer stem cells mainly as hypothetical entities whose relevance if not very-existence is questionable.  A recent article in Gen points … Continue reading

“Footprint-free” iPSCs – and a crazy wager offer

The stream of stem cell research seems to be turning into a river with cascades, waterfalls, whirlpools and even stem-cell treatment resorts.  I comment here on just one small part of the river, which is research on generating induced pluripotent … Continue reading

Who is doing gene reprogramming?

When I first learned about computers in 1950, there were probably less than a three dozen people in the world doing computer programming, and I soon joined their ranks.  At that time, to suggest that computer programming would become an … Continue reading
