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.

Why do females live longer than males?

Posted on 5. May 2009 by Vince Giuliano

It has long been known that females tend to outlive males.  I have only to look at my own family’s history to see how that kept happening.  And apparently this also happens in a variety of other species as well. … Continue reading →

Women who give birth late in life live longer – and so do their brothers

Posted on 5. May 2009 by Vince Giuliano

Previous studies have found that women who have babies naturally in their 40s or 50s tend to live significantly longer than other women. At first it seemed that epigenetic factors were at work here.  The theory was that something changes … Continue reading →

Half glass of wine a day – good for longevity or bad because of increased cancer risk?

Posted on 3. May 2009 by Vince Giuliano

The answer depends on the study.  As far back as 1997, epidemiological studies suggested that moderate regular consumption of wine, red wine in particular, was associated with decreased risk of ischemic heart disease death(ref).   Then there is the often-cited 2007 … Continue reading →

Major future leaps in longevity will most likely result from developments in molecular biology and genomics.  And, on a practical level individual DNA testing will sooner or later play a major role simply because our genomes are different.  After several … Continue reading →

Another longevity-related biochemical pathway

Posted on 30. April 2009 by Vince Giuliano

Another cross-species pathway has been discovered that allows interventions to lengthen life in primitive organisms, C. elegans nematode worms in this case.  The pathway is related to the hypoxic response, how cells respond to protect themselves when there is insufficient … Continue reading →

Human heart muscle cell renewal

Posted on 29. April 2009 by Vince Giuliano

The conventional wisdom has been that cell division in heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) stops at or shortly after birth and that the cardiomyocytes of an 80 year-old are the same ones he started out with.  The technology of radioactive carbon-dating … Continue reading →

“If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” — Henry Ford

Posted on 25. April 2009 by Vince Giuliano

Whatever else you may think about Henry Ford, I think you will agree he knew what he wanted and in large part got it.  I spent most of yesterday with cousins in Greenfield Village, a large historical theme park founded … Continue reading →
