Gary Cantor Durham - From Youtube to Practicing Medical Professional

Gary Cantor
While his original inspiration was a Youtube video presented to him by Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Gary Cantor Durham took this inspiration and made it his life’s work. Twice Gary Cantor has wrote to Dr. de Grey regarding his love for the topic of Biomedical Gerontology. The first time was when he was a child and had first seen a Youtube video of Dr. de Grey explaining what the Biomedical Gerontology field was. After that letter, in a reply, he was invited to a conference in England. When the invitation was given, they were unaware of the fact that he was thirteen at the time. The second time Gary Cantor Durham wrote to her was when he was accepted into the Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This letter was a letter of gratitude to Dr. de Grey for publicizing the idea that gave him a purpose in life.
