About

He is the author of The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) and co-author of Ending Aging (2007). De Grey is known for his view that medical technology may enable human beings alive today not to die from age-related causes. As an amateur mathematician, he has contributed to the study of the Hadwiger–Nelson problem in geometric graph theory, making the first progress on the problem in over 60 years.
Aubrey de Grey is President and Chief Science Officer of the Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation and editor of the Rejuvenation Research journal. He co-founded the SENS Research Foundation and served as its Chief Science Officer until 2021, when he departed after he had allegedly attempted to interfere in a probe investigating sexual harassment allegations against him. In 2013, De Grey worked as an international adjunct professor of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. In 2003 he co-founded the Methuselah Foundation and stepped away from it around 2009.
