What if we could slow down the process of ageing – or even stop it?
Dr Andrew Steele is a 32-year-old computational biologist. He is a Research Fellow at the Francis Crick Institute in London, using computers to decode our DNA and unravel the secrets hidden in some of modern biology’s biggest data. He has a first-class degree and a DPhil in physics from Oxford University, where he used particle accelerators to understand the inner workings of magnetic and superconducting materials. The transition from physics to biology came about when he realised that ageing is the single largest cause of human suffering, and wanted to do something about it. He has featured in or on the Guardian, Sky News, The One Show, and Discovery’s Impossible Engineering and Through the Wormhole, BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science and Newshour.
A tour de force of anti-ageing science
*The Times*
Steele is a superb guide to the wilder fringes of real medicine . .
. He understands that ageing is an experience to be lived
meaningfully and fully, as well as a fascinating medical problem to
be solved. His vision is very tightly controlled . . . I heartily
recommend Ageless. It’s modest in scope, and generous in detail.
It’s an honest and optimistic contribution
*Telegraph*
Ambitious and energetic . . . Give[s] a startling round-up of the
biological factors that make us age and the emerging techniques to
tackle them . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the
technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to
grasp what’s at stake in this dazzling, daunting age where big data
meets human biology
*Independent*
Ageless employs a scientific vocabulary – autophagy, amyloids,
adducts and countless other specialised terms abound. But the book
is nevertheless accessible, its style chatty and engaging . . .
This is an enthralling book . . . Ageless is a rich and exciting
exploration of that surprisingly intriguing topic we’d rather not
talk about: old age
*Irish Times*
A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with
extraordinary facts . . . Steele is not a crank or a snake-oil
salesman. He’s not a ‘wellness’ YouTuber. He doesn’t work for Goop.
He’s a biologist . . . We can take what he says seriously
*Mail on Sunday*
There are some incredible revelations in this book. The science is
fascinating . . . What Steele says is both revolutionary and
important – life-changing in the true sense of the word. His
thinking is bold, visionary, utopian
*The Herald*
A fascinating book delivering an education into the ageing process
and an insight into the possibilities of the future
*Tim Lovejoy*
An immensely important book. Steele surveys the biology of human
ageing, as well as the cutting-edge research on how to prevent it.
The first person to achieve immortality may already have been born.
Is it you?!
*Professor Lewis Dartnell, author of 'Origins'*
This is an essential book for anyone interested in the
fast-developing science of longevity
*Jim Mellon, Chairman of Juvenescence*
Ageless is a fascinating, stimulating and pleasingly practical
guide to the science of ageing and how we might be able to bend the
arrow of biological time to improve our health
*Kat Arney, author of 'Rebel Cell: Cancer, Evolution and the
Science of Life'*
Few issues can be more important for our future than ensuring we
age as well as possible. Ageless explains the extraordinary
achievements and promise of current scientific research around
longevity. Read it and prepare to think differently about your
future
*Andrew Scott, Professor of Economics, London Business School and
co-author of 'The 100-Year Life'*
In his book Ageless, Andrew Steele describes how the field of
ageing biology moved from hope to promise. This is a masterful
roadmap for interested lay people, scientists at large and also
geroscientists like myself – I was surprised how much I learned
*Nir Barzilai, founding director of the Institute for Aging
Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva
University*
A fascinating look at how scientists are working to help doctors
treat not just one disease at a time, but the ageing process
itself, helping us all to lead longer, healthier lives
*Sanjay Gupta, Associate Chief of the Neurosurgery Service at Grady
Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, Associate Professor of
Neurosurgery at the Emory University School of Medicine and Chief
Medical Correspondent for CNN*
A rigorous yet enjoyably readable, spellbinding tale
*George Church, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School*
