Dr. Michael Levin is an American developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University where he heads his own lab. He also directs the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology.   His groundbreaking research focuses on bioelectrical signals that dictate the collective intelligence of cells and direct it to form tissues and organs. His work on bioelectric signals has important applications for how we understand cancer, regenerative medicine and even aging. In fact, he is collaborating with David Sinclair to see how his work can be applied to reverse aging.   Michael Levin’s work is fascinating and will surely leave you thinking. I hope you enjoy the conversation!    All platforms / Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.substack.com/p/mlevin  Find the previous podcast episodes & subscribe to be notified: https://www.livelongerworld.com/podcast  Sign up for Premium Subscriber Summarized Show Notes on Key Points: https://www.livelongerworld.com/premium  Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livelongerworld One-Time support: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/livelongerworld  MICHAEL LEVIN LINKS:  Website: https://ase.tufts.edu/biology/labs/levin/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drmichaellevin  LIVE LONGER WORLD LINKS:  Website: https://www.livelongerworld.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/livelongerworld Newsletter: https://livelongerworld.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longevityfuture/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livelongerworld YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ Live Longer World Premium Subscriber: https://www.livelongerworld.com/premium  TIMESTAMPS:  0:40 How do cells decide what to build?  10:05 DNA is insufficient for dictating collective intelligence of cells  19:00 Anatomical Complier (End game)  22:24 History of Cellular Collective Intelligence & Ala Turing  26:30 Regenerative Medicine & Morphoceuticals  38:05 Cells forming new anatomies  44:53 Cancer as a morphogenetic problem  55:16 David Sinclair, Bioelectrics to reverse aging  57:44 Synthetic Wombs & Artificial Life  59:41 Support Live Longer World!
