Reversing Time with Yuri Deigin — The Longevity Current Pilot
Episode 1 — Reversing Time with Yuri Deigin
Hosts: Tom Varney & Aleks Singer
A Longevity San Juan Production
What if aging isn’t inevitable, but programmable?
In this pilot episode of Longevity Current, hosts Tom Varney and Aleks Singer sit down with Yuri Deigin, co-founder and CEO of YouthBio Therapeutics, to explore the frontier of epigenetic reprogramming and the science of biological rejuvenation.
They discuss why Yuri believes aging is primarily an epigenetic process rather than a damage-driven one, what it takes to build a company that challenges biology’s deepest assumptions, and how lessons from fields like AI and space exploration can accelerate breakthroughs in human longevity.
Longevity Current is the official podcast of Longevity San Juan, Puerto Rico’s nonprofit hub for longevity science, biotech innovation, and public education. Each episode dives into the ideas, experiments, and pioneers shaping the future of human health and lifespan.
Topics Covered:
Aging as an engineering problem
Epigenetic reprogramming and YouthBio’s mission
The bottlenecks slowing scientific progress
Ethical frontiers of mind uploads and “forbidden” experiments
The future of human lifespan and biological freedom
