Director, Institute for Aging Research
Dr. Nir Barzilai is a leading aging researcher and the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, focusing on the genetic and metabolic aspects of aging.
Global life expectancy has climbed to 73 years — but more years doesn't automatically mean better years. Dan Buettner, Dr. Nir Barzilai, and Dr. Barbara Resnick examine the longevity paradox: why the dream of living longer has started to feel, for many, more like a problem than a triumph.
