Et si nous arrêtions de vieillir ? | Guilhem VELVE CASQUILLAS | TEDxIMTAtlantiqueBrest


[Applause]

precursor of the slab is more than 11

eme qu’ulysse remains will see chrome then

you can believe me

today still the treatments

against aging remains pretty

medieval that said we will not spit

on some pals and at more levels

I was about twenty years

like some of you when I

executed

we were facing a convergence

technologies that could we

allow to slow down or even

to stop knotted hands decades to

come in and make us potentially

the first generation of humans a

mortal then notice that I say is

mortal and not immortal because the

aging or not we can not

prevent people from dying or even from

win to darwin to look forward to and stop at

our greatest eg the emperor

maximilian first of the dead love in

1519 at the rank of a hunting party a

indigestion of mollo we see well

aging at the bar will not be able

prevent means but this said I

finds that the idea of ​​no longer having

expiry date is rather attractive

and that’s why I dedicated my life to

one thing give the choice given the choice

as soon as possible to the humanity of

to be able to live or mail each

individual to age or not

to get old

then I have given a long enough

on the school benches

I exceeded

but a good PhD student 6 and post

PhD student in biology

the cdh is ideal to stop led this

months ago and it was great that is

researcher to say that we have kept a soul

baby

the researchers that is to push back

the limits of science have day

drinks euro happiness

unfortunately for me from the very ceni

rezaï only to reach what I

wanted to do in life but that

was strictly for nothing redeemed in

public research

then I left everything behind for an even launched

in creative strands

innovative companies in the field

Biotechnology

ja is to tell you if I believe in my

topic imagine we will live a package

of years to swing ten years of studies

with dill

I was stuck because when I

executed

we could perhaps create the first

generation of words sapiens morten plus

nothing else made sense any paris

it’s insignificant even developed to our

iphone and yet never afraid towards I

always afraid and you should

probably deny being scared because

who knows tomorrow what humanity will do

of the power to modify the human genome

that 100% poignant today as

benefits will outweigh the risks

because if we look at it, it will depend on

decisions of our policies defeat them

in 40 years it will depend on the people who

vote for them it partly depends on us

I do not know you suddenly it myself

scared

you have understood the I nevertheless made

my choice why because it’s

today in the laboratories of

search that is decided otherwise 20 30 or

40 years old people will be able to choose from

grow old do not read there and I decided to

do not send him this freedom then

luckily for me and for you too

because it would not be before it’s

well soon I realized that I was not

alone there was a real

world revolution in the field of

the fight against aging

have you ever wondered for example

why google invested 1.5 billion

of dollars for I quote kill death and

stop from the human ismans or why

mark zuckerberg the founder of facebook

said this year invest 3

billion dollars too but he for

eradicate all human diseases

by the end of the century

and above all what can do them

think that their investments are

profitable in the coming decades

I let you think about it not a

little if we look closely at the expectation of

books of humanity did not really move

in the last 48 years the

flat calm if not during the 150

last years where all of a sudden we

went on to win six hours

life expectancy every 24 hours

so for the revelers hexagon the

quilt understand that it’s a

weekend to win every week

I seize in parallel there is something that

did not move an iota

it is the longevity of the human species

that is the maximum age that can

to reach an individual we stayed

taped to 101 years and more remarkable

is that this expiry date was

marked in the Gospels

I quote that my mind is not

indefinitely and conducted in the noticed

the little baritone voice when I

take the place I ‘m giving you

notice how expensive his life is

will be more than 120 years old genesis chapter

6 verse 3 so I can tell you I

was not impressed by the old

testament to all the pages but there I

do not know how he’s milling is

impressive and the question that

pose today is to know what

that they mainly limit

the life expectancy of humanity and its

longevity and honda see us this is the

aging

a kind of genetic program

of self-destruction present in everyone

of you buddhism en route to

around 20 years and leads to a death

the some hundreds of years after the

feels a tank is also the year

20 years old you have a chance in a thousand

to die for good handbags or

bad news

it’s already watching you know it’s

mainly from this one of diseases

infectious this accident but me this

that I draw from it is that in the absence of

aging

the life expectancy of an average French

would be from Milan and if we look at that

walk the same for all animals

almost all the animals we need and

a mouse or a man from a

certain age at the chances of dying in

the year exponentially increases for

the man from 20 years old your chances

to die in the year

double every seven years you can me

believe it goes up fast and a child

it was for homo sapiens 1.0 we are here

to see that this

of exchanged and besides it exists on

land of species that seems not

to age at all is the case of the fox

it is not too heavy

and besides how am I here a

Surprising it’s my side proselyte

I call on the entire community

scientist to revive

clam research is all these

little years to make sure

understand the secrets their longevity and

especially their ticket everything that works

the spaghetti dish nerves it’s all

things that can kill you and

chances she gets there every year

become so I know that’s a lot

what can we notice these

exams she’s increasing pretty much from

the same way with NATO – almost

all

the good news is that I studied

precisely this list and assist a

ted with me does not belong woods

and in Peru for the next 15

minutes when you are with me or you

are safe

the second thing we can learn

this dish of spaghetti is that from

of a certain age if one eradicates a

sickness class an ode will take

immediately relay

for example if we eradicate and

all cancers in

the entirety of humanity hope

of human life would increase by 3.5

years it’s sad but like them and

Kennedy, you must not let yourself be defeated

and if like me you want to increase

drastically the life expectancy of

mankind

just do not treat them

consequences but tackle the causes

so even if you tell me she got

found small that at the age of 20 to

to die of cancer or alzheimer

it’s still pretty statistics

insignificant when we look at all

these diseases all economist at the iese and

increased over time we say

that there is a cause

so pale to all these diseases the time that

happening aging is so the

question that arises for me

today does not revolve around the dish

of this name the question that arises for

me is whether humanity has

technological tools that could

allow us to reprogram this

genetic program of self-destruction

in the coming decades

and the good news is that the

ongoing revolution in the field of

Biotechnology No. 2 for the first

times in the history of humanity

Serious chances to slow down

even to stop life you have to

understand that medicine to advance

faster in a century than during

the whole history of humanity meeting

and it’s even more true in the twenty

last years

today it is almost impossible

for a doctor installed same day in

his specialty besides while we

is there between us if someday you have

a serious illness

I invite you to choose your doctor

and acts the mans like you

choose your hairdresser if you want

that it ends well

I read is the good he joins our sheep

let’s discover together that the future

we reserve its fabulous optelio

technology in the first thing to

do when they are scheduled and a

genetic code

stop ismans is to identify

the genes responsible for aging

and that’s where August 1st comes in and

the technology one

the big data genetic the possibility of

sequences and his 5 billion lire on

genome of individuals

after bach or the sequencing pull the

first genome in 2003 sequencing

of a human genome

its cost has been divided by almost 3

millions today

we can sequence his genome for less

of 1000 euros and the millions of

people like me did it and that’s

reading these millions of young people

couples and an artificial intelligence

adequate that will allow us to do the

link between each gene each disease and

the life expectancy of each patient

you will come to know the genes

it’s good but you have to

to modify them

that’s where the second tool comes in

biotechnology therapies

gene therapy roughly a therapy

gene is to modify the genome

of a patient by inserting a gene to

the internee without the dom

for example if you have an illness

genetics like sickle cell disease by

example a gene therapy will come

inactivated the gene responsible for the

sickle cell disease and replace it with a

gene that works the result in the end

is that you will not have the

sickle cell disease huacana passionate

crowds

however, I’m sure it’s you who

has one by the gene therapies the

day for example we discovered that

I love hangover

we’ll talk again but some of them

Can you tell me nine years ago

but gene therapies exist

since the early eighties so yes

but at the time we have a big problem

that we could not control where

we inserted the new gene whose

genome of the patient and that in terms of

result check it was

catastrophic

it’s a bit like putting a word randomly

in a sentence it can make sense but

it’s a hell of a coup there it’s

the same when we place a gene at random

so I like swimming and this area has

experienced a real revolution in 2002

with the discovery of crisis by box

only happens to the golden words a

technology that allows us to edit

the gene we want right alan

we want danger then appointment of

my point of view chrysler cal lane en

the state will not be enough on its own for

drink stop aging but this

field advances at a tremendous speed

five years later there are already more than 2000

gene therapy during tests

clinics mainly from elsewhere for

cure cancer

it’s one more time than one

antibiotics yet our clinical tests

it’s a real tidal wave and its

little pikes of the dynamics of the

bio tech revolution sam at a speed

not possible we already have our

tools that could allow us

to a certain extent to slow down the

said

but that said it would be good

to avoid repeating the mistakes do

consistently in the past when

we find foul a great

discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by

example when I discovered the

radioactivity two decades ago

we were convinced that this energy

magic chicken heal everything and I am

go get some small ones

vintage feathers to go black we saw

go out on the soda market

radioactive gives infinite energy

like the atomic pile or that famous

suppository to makeup put the

male power

I think the pinnacle has been reached

with self heating woolen vests

for baby should have been a day assured

the fashion is past but we can see well

see who will be needed for

avoid these pitfalls of being able to test

quickly and efficiently all

experimental treatments against

aging

and that’s where the third comes in

tool derived from the huge technology

when more then rest assured of papal

cultivating miniature beings on

small lowest gargamel not wear

smurfs in the urine circus

hesitate to reproduce most faithfully

possible the operation of a

human organism by making cultures

human cells on small

microphone chips such as cis

gave also knew a huge boom

with the discovered a few years ago

good ten years besides

induced pluripotent stem cells

roughly a technology that we

allows to take skin cells

of a patient and transform them into

base cells any of its

organs liver lung heart brain and a

once intelligently organized these

human cell cultures formed

multi-program on human chip on

more and it’s them who

will test quickly

effectively the treatments so the

aging by limiting as much as possible

tests on human subjects and on

food I could not help you

tell me it’s still more

effective and especially faster test

an experimental treatment on someone

and we watched the result 70 years

after that are slips

but where humans on more will be

primordial it’s probably going to

have to change dozens or even

hundreds of genes at ja same patient

have completely stopped his

aging and that acquired a

crucial interruptions to test the

millions of therapy combinations

which will be needed for

find the most effective

so we see we have three tools

from biotechnology that could

allow us in the decades to

come

the idle and see of stopped actions

the bide to genetics to identify

the genes responsible aging

gene therapies to change the

patient’s genome accordingly and the

humans on a chip to test

millions of therapy combinations

gene needed to find the take

optima then you will tell me for the

most of you I imagine the subject

a little new just a little

open-minded

having said that I am formal opening

of mind is not a fracture of the skull

and so is not part of our dish

of spaghetti you can

interesting about it you do not risk

nothing I think some of you

may have already been in the lead the answer to

the question we were asking at the beginning of

this presentation

what is it that google and so much

Silicon valley companies

invest billions for a

establishment m

and well just because they think

that they are going to get there and who thinks that

people will be unpaid loans dear will have

you want the fastest

if he gave this choice humanity is not

not obliged otherwise he is not

necessary to invest billions

euros simply to interest you

topics to talk about around you and to

force to hear around them the

politicians will understand that

this subject interests the population because

that you have to understand

that today almost all

budgets are in the water and treating the

consequences of aging alzheimer

cancers infarctions

if we were going to be just one

thousandth of the sums used for

consequences but this time for

treat the causes aging

we would have a world-wide

budget night illiards euros parra and

I am convinced that with such a budget

everything will become possible including me

gave the joy of seeing you all here

in full health in 3 min 17
