The pharmaceutical industry, which has been developing rapidly day by day and especially in recent years, has increased human life spans by offering a solution to the health problems that remained unsolved in previous years. A series of studies are now being carried out to prolong life spans not only with drugs, but also with various methods.

Although many studies have been carried out in this area, the secrets and ways of living longer still continue to be a matter of curiosity. Brian Hanley, who works in mathematics and theoretical biology, is also looking for ways to extend their lifespan. Brian Hanley, a scientist living in California, answered the questions about his work in an interview with the Atlantic magazine.

Developing gene therapies to extend lifespan

Brian Hanley, a 64-year-old mathematical biologist, is conducting research that will extend and almost double human lifespan. Hanley continues his work at his company called Butterfly Sciences, which he founded for these researches. He develops gene therapies for longevity and conducts his studies only on himself. Hanley does not receive approval or support from any institution, including the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for his work in search of the secrets of long life.

Brian Hanley interviewed Joe Pinsker of The Atlantic magazine about the methods and details on the subject that can extend his life. During the interview, Joe Pinsker first asked Brian Hanley how long he hoped to live. Stating that his family is very long-lived, the 64-year-old scientist said that he hopes that he will live to at least 80 years old, but that his life expectancy can be extended to 150 to 160 years with the gene therapies he has developed. In response to the question of why he wants to live long, he wants to have more time to do things that are useful to the world, not because he is afraid of dying; He declared that he wanted to live 150 years.

Will the climate crisis affect life expectancy?

The scientist, who wishes that the average human life will double today, also stated that the climate and weather conditions will be even more brutal in the coming years. Underlining that climate change has had many negative effects on his life even today, Hanley said that he thinks that the cause of death is very likely to be directly related to the climate crisis, such as a tornado, typhoon or fire.
