Dr. David Furman is a key researcher at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where he focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging and chronic diseases, particularly through the lens of the immune system. His research centers around “inflammaging,” the concept that low-grade, chronic inflammation contributes to the aging process and the development of age-related diseases like cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes.
At the Buck Institute, Dr. Furman leads efforts to unravel how immune dysfunction plays a pivotal role in accelerating biological aging. His work integrates systems biology approaches, including advanced computational and bioinformatic tools, to analyze large datasets related to human immunity and inflammation. By understanding how these systems change over time, Dr. Furman aims to identify biomarkers of aging and develop therapeutic strategies to target inflammaging.
In addition to his role at the Buck Institute, Dr. Furman is involved in the 1000 Immunomes Project, a large-scale initiative to map the immune systems of individuals across different age groups. This project has contributed significantly to the growing understanding of how the immune system deteriorates with age and how this process may be modifiable through intervention.
Dr. Furman’s work is influential in the longevity and biotech spaces, and he continues to be a thought leader in the development of anti-inflammatory therapies to extend healthspan and potentially delay the onset of age-related diseases.

Today I’m speaking with Danny Grannick from Bristle Health on the Longevity Optimization Podcast. In this conversation, we delve into the significance of oral microbiome testing and its implications for dental health and overall well-being. Danny shares insights into the differences between good and bad bacteria, highlighting the connection between oral health and systemic diseases. …
On this episode of Harrytales, Harry is back from the woods and ready to rumble. Rocky headphones, Madison Beer, Karma ft. Ice Spice are all discussed. Plus, Harry questions whether or not he has any beige flags of his own. Oh, and stayed tuned for deets on that Stoney Clover Lane pouch, the one with …
