Dr. David Sinclair, Sirtris Pharmaceuticals:
Well, these little cubes are actually the protein in our bodies that we believe controls the aging process.

Barbara Walters:
If he is right, Dr. David Sinclair has found one of the genetic keys that will reset our biological clocks.

Dr. David Sinclair, Sirtris Pharmaceuticals:
I think we've passed a turning point in our understanding of the aging process.

Barbara Walters:
How did he discover these proteins?

This looks like a barcode, but it's really a map of our genome — the blueprint for human life stored in every cell in our bodies. A few of these genes play a key role in the speed at which our cells age.

Dr. Sinclair randomly tested tens of thousands of cells, searching for the chemical that would activate those genes.

Dr. David Sinclair, Sirtris Pharmaceuticals:
We found them by accident. We stumbled upon this molecule from red wine, and when I looked on the computer — what is this resveratrol? And found that it was in red wine, I almost fell off my chair, because, of course, we all have heard that red wine is good for you.
