Human Aging: The Immune System Takes The Lead
David Furman discusses the pivotal role of the immune system in human aging, drawing on research from the Stanford 1000 Immunomes Project.
Dr. Furman is the director of the Stanford 1000 Immunomes Project and director of the Bioinformatics Core at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. He received his PhD from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, for his work on the identification of factors produced by tumors that enable cancer cells to escape immune attack. During his postdoctoral training at the Stanford School of Medicine, he focused on the application of advanced analytics to study aging of the immune system in humans and to decipher how cumulative inflammatory responses associated with aging lead to accelerated cardiovascular aging. Dr. Furman has published dozens of scientific articles in top-tier journals such as Cell, Nature Medicine, PNAS, The Lancet, and others.
