Greg Macpherson

Greg Macpherson is a pharmacist, biotechnologist, cellular health expert and author of, Harnessing the Nine Hallmarks of Ageing: to live your healthiest life. For more than a decade, he has been working in the biotechnology sector, specifically focusing on the ageing process at the cellular level.

This work led him to discover ways to harness the nine identified, scientific hallmarks of ageing, which is the premise of his book that addresses the natural ageing process, how to age more favourably and simple strategies to slow the ageing process and build a functional healthspan.

Macpherson founded SRW Laboratories, a science and research based company that curates the latest biotechnology research to formulate natural products designed to help slow the onset of ageing and disease, and develop evidence based solutions for those who are experiencing age-related health concerns or who want to improve their healthspan.

With ageing being the single biggest risk factor for developing disease, Macpherson’s mission to slow the ageing process at a cellular level could help millions of people delay the onset of diseases associated with advanced ageing like Alzheimer’s and heart disease and increase healthspan.
