Your genetics can uncover many things about you. They can influence how you look and behave, to name a few. But your genes are not deterministic; they don't tell your entire story.In this episode of Longevity by Design, our hosts, Dr. Gil Blander and Ashley Reaver, MS, RD, CSSD, are joined by Dr. Ali Torkamani, Director of Genome Informatics at the Scripps Research Translational Institute. Tune in as Dr. Ali Torkamani discusses how genetics impact lifespan and healthspan, why genetics aren't deterministic, and how lifestyle factors promote a healthier, longer life.To learn more about science-backed ways to live a healthier, longer life, download InsideTracker's InnerAge eBook at insidetracker.com/podcast

Ali Torkamani, PhD Director of Genome Informatics and Drug Discovery,The Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) and Assistant Professor of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, The Scripps Research Institute is the co-author of a study on the Wellderly--those over 80 who have never suffered any major disease.  The focus on healthspan and not just lifespan is being enhanced by exploring genomic data of the Wellderly phenotype as well as lifestyle choices and environment. @ScrippsSTSI The Scripps Translational Science Institute  

Today we feature a pharma company that has been around for some time but recently getting more media coverage for the impressive scale of their new genetic center. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, insiders joke, has been an overnight success that took 25 years. One might think every big pharma company has their own genetic center for internal R & D. But today’s guest, Jeff Reid, Executive Director of Genome Informatics at the Regeneron Genetic Center (RGC), says that actually deep genetic research is often outsourced.
