U.S. Transhumanist Party Virtual Enlightenment Salon with Michael Fossel – March 8, 2026

Описание: On Sunday, March 8, 2026, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invited Michael Fossel, MD, PhD, to discuss key ideas from his new book “Reversal: Science, Medicine, and a Future Beyond Aging”, which characterizes aging as a specific failure of cellular maintenance. As telomeres (the ends of our chromosomes) shorten, they signal our genes to slow down molecular repair. Our cells accumulate damage not because it’s an inevitable outcome of entropy, but because our cellular cleaning crews fall behind.

The book explains how this central mechanism drives not only aging, but downstream diseases from Alzheimer’s to heart disease and cancer. The solution lies in resetting the aging process at its most fundamental level. Telomerase can relengthen telomeres, resetting gene expression, and restoring the rapid, pristine self-repair of youth.

Dr. Michael Fossel serves as chairman of the board of Telocyte, a biotech company developing telomerase therapy for Alzheimer's disease, with FDA-sponsored human trials planned to target the underlying disease process.

A recognized expert in aging and telomere biology, Dr. Fossel has authored over 100 scientific articles, book chapters, and books, and has lectured internationally, including at the National Institutes of Health. His 2020 article, “A Unified Model of Dementias and Age-related Neurodegeneration”, generated significant global interest with more than 1,000 reprint requests, presenting both a comprehensive understanding of dementia causation and novel therapeutic approaches. His companion work, “A Unified Model of Age-Related Cardiovascular Disease”, similarly explores potential interventions in cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Fossel earned his BA and MA from Wesleyan University before completing his PhD in Neurobiology (1978) and MD (1981) at Stanford University, where he taught neuroanatomy and experimental design. He subsequently focused on aging, particularly premature aging syndromes and the experimental testing of aging theories. For nearly three decades, he served as Clinical Professor of Medicine and held leadership roles, including director of the American Aging Association and editor of several medical journals.
