Grantee in the News: Sofiya Milman on Healthspan in RunnersWorld

On February 9, 2018, RunnersWorld highlighted the insights of 2012 Ellison Medical Foundation/AFAR Postdoctoral Fellow and 2015 Beeson Career Development Awards in Aging Research scholar Sofiya Milman, M.D. in an article exploring the role of exercise in extending healthspan.

In “To Look and Feel Younger, Running is the Real Miracle Drug,” Dr. Milman explains the goal of aging research is to extend years of health as we grow older. Dr. Milman reminds that biomedical researchers who focus on aging “don’t think that people will be immortal, but we do believe that you can certainly delay diseases and dysfunction that come with aging.”
