Team Future
As biologists continue the decades-long race to map the genomes of living things, a dynamic group of BU engineers is asking the kind of questions that engineers can’t help but ask: what if we built a different genome? Known as synthetic [...]biologists, they believe that with some skillful genomic tweaks, living organisms, such as enzymes, cells, and microbes, can be put to work doing things that are too dangerous or not even possible for higher life forms like ourselves.

Public Health Minute: The Genetics of Exceptional Longevity
While environment and family history are factors in healthy aging, genetic variants play a critical and complex role in conferring exceptional longevity, according to a new study by a team of researchers from the Boston University Schools of Public [...]Health and Medicine and the Boston Medical Center.
In a study released July 1 online by the journal Science, the research team identified a group of genetic variants that can predict exceptional longevity in humans with 77 percent accuracy -- a breakthrough in understanding the role of genes in determining human lifespan.
Listen to Paola Sebastiani, professor of biostatistics at BU School of Public Health, and Thomas Perls, associate professor of medicine at the BU School of Medicine and a geriatrician at Boston Medical Center, talk about their research.
