Sinclair also holds board seats on for-profit and non-profit organization and co-founded the scientific journal Aging as well as Full Aligned LLC, which works to democratize access to knowledge and tools to enhance the mind and body wellbeing. Dr. Sinclair brings his fascinating talk on extending the human lifespan to audiences of all kinds and offers captivating insights from his scientific breakthroughs and the influence of his work on health, wellness, and medicine.
Dr. David Sinclair offers actionable strategies to slow the aging process – and increase longevity – in riveting talks
When the world’s leading researcher on aging, Dr. DAVID SINCLAIR, joined The Harry Walker Agency for a speaker visit, he stunned our team with his insights. Though he is the foremost expert on human longevity, leading a team of 30 research scientists at Harvard, we were riveted by his ability to illuminate this cutting-edge technology in an accessible way. Beyond his gift for breaking down complex topics, which is evident in his New York Times bestseller Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don't Have To, Dr. Sinclair brings warmth and humor to these big ideas. As is the case with many of the audiences for his sought-after engagements, our team had questions: Should I care about aging? What does this mean for the future of society? And perhaps most important, What steps can we take now to live longer and healthier lives?
Dr. Sinclair enthralled the Harry Walker team with his scientific reasoning about some of the most existential questions this exciting technology brings up, as he does in keynotes and conversations worldwide. The award-winning researcher outlined the difference between chronological aging, which is inevitable, and biological aging – which his team has discovered is actually reversible. While Dr. Sinclair delves into significantly more detail in his speaking engagements, his bestseller, and his podcast Lifespan, one of the world’s most popular in the health and fitness category, he left our team with a few actionable and practical takeaways, such as finding a reliable partner and focusing on movement. Every speaking event with Dr. Sinclair is like an empowering coaching session, balancing the digestible science behind the profound scientific advances with advice any audience can use today.
David Sinclair, A.O., Ph.D. is a Professor of Genetics at the Blavatnik Institute, Harvard Medical School, and Co-Chief Editor of the journal Aging.
Dr. Sinclair did his Ph.D. studying genetics in yeast, identifying the first intragenic promoter elements in eukaryotes, for which he was awarded the the CSL and The Commonwealth Prizes. A Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship allowed him to leave Australia to work with Lenny Guarente at M.I.T. from 2005-2009, where he co-discovered a cause of aging in yeast, a first in any organism, and deciphered the role of sirtuin genes in the aging process. At 29, he was recruited to Harvard Medical School and shortly thereafter became Founding Director of the Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for Aging Research, a group that includes four labs at Harvard and a consortium of 11 universities. He has published 200+ papers, is an inventor on over 60 patents, and has been cited 97,000+ times with an h-index impact score of 114.
Dr. Sinclair’s research is focused primarily on understanding genes that fight disease and aging, with a focus on treating the major causes of death and disability. He studies cellular energy production, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, cancer, and inflammation. More recently his work has branched out to understand why we age and how to reverse it. He has directly mentored over 100 scientists over the past 20 years and won awards for mentorship and teaching. He supports non-profit organizations and has cofounded and/or invested in 20 biotechnology companies.
He was the founding Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biological Mechanisms of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School from 2005-2023.
He is founding Editor of the journal Aging, and has received 38 awards including the CSL Prize, The Australian Commonwealth Prize, a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Award, a Leukemia Society Fellowship, a Ludwig Scholarship, a Harvard-Armenise Fellowship, an American Federation for Aging Research Fellowship, The Nathan Shock Award from NIH, Scholarships from The Ellison Medical Foundation, The Merck Prize, the Genzyme Outstanding Achievement in Biomedical Science Award, a "Bio-Innovator award," the David Murdock-Dole Lectureship, the Fisher Honorary Lectureship at UCLA, MERIT Award from the National Institute on Aging, the Denham Harman Award for Gerontological Research, the “ASMR Medal” from the Australian Society for Medical Research, a Knowledge Nation 100 Recipient, an Ambassador of Business Events, Sydney, the USC Kersten lecturer, the Westin Lecture, a Pioneer Award from the Director of the NIH, Advance Global Australian Award, the Irving Wright AFAR Award of Distinction for Excellence in Aging Research, and the Clive McKay Award in Aging Research, and is an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO). In 2014, Professor Sinclair was recognized as one of TIME Magazine’s "100 Most Influential People In The World" and in 2018 as "Top 50 in Healthcare," and he is the co-author of the New York Times and international bestseller Lifespan.
