Impact
Antonio Regalado is senior editor for biomedicine at MIT Technology Review, which he joined in July 2011; he previously wrote about science and politics in Latin America for Science and other outlets from São Paulo, and was science reporter and later foreign correspondent at the Wall Street Journal from 2000 to 2009. His reporting covers how technology is changing medicine and biomedical research, including gene editing, reproductive technology and the longevity and rejuvenation industry. In November 2018 he broke the story that Chinese scientist He Jiankui was creating gene-edited CRISPR babies, reporting that is used as an annotated teaching example by the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing. His recent coverage relevant to ageing includes reports on partial and chemical reprogramming, rejuvenation startups and their claims, and longevity-related clinical and prize efforts. These articles frequently examine the claims made by companies and scientists working on anti-ageing interventions.
