We had a marvelous conversation with Assoc. Prof. Viktor Korolchuk (@VIKorolchuk) about autophagy, mitochondria, senescence, the importance of modelling, and human desire for radical lifespan extension. Originally from Ukraine where he received his Ph.D., Viktor worked in Cambridge as a postdoctoral fellow and later moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in the beautiful north of the UK to pursue his work on aging.
He has received a grant from VitaDAO to identify novel autophagy activators against aging and lysosomal storage disorders.https://www.vitadao.com/projects/korolchuk-lab
