Phil Micans MS PharmB
Phil Micans studied Food & Vitamin Technology at South London College and afterward he completed an applied science bachelor’s degree from Rochville in Pharmacy. He also holds a masters degree in biochemistry from the University of Canterbury.

Having been actively involved in the anti-aging field since the 1980’s, Phil has held the positions of Editor-in-Chief of the Antiaging Magazine, Director of Research and Development to Inner-Age, co-writer of The New Millennium Guide to Antiaging Medicine and Chairman of the International Antiaging Congress.

He is also advisor to the British Longevity Society as well as the innovative bi-annual preventative medicine Stromboli conference, organised by Professor Walter Pierpaoli.

Phil realized that the information age has created a new generation of informed individuals and physicians who view things globally and want to obtain the best possible treatment based on a scientific perspective. As such, in 1991 he became a founding member of International Antiaging Systems (IAS), where he maintains the position of Vice President.

Phil has dedicated himself to studying the latest research about antiaging medicine and helping to make available innovative products to health professionals, as well as their patients who need them. Proud to be part of one of the world’s leading organizations in antiaging medicine and keenly interested in the orthomolecular approach to medicine, Phil firmly believes that antiaging medicine is the ultimate form of preventative medicine, and that it will be the next major leap in the health of mankind.

2006 - Biological Age Measurement – Practicalities and Issues
The latest update on the practicalities and issues of utilising biological age measurement as a marker of health.
Philip Micans, PharmB, MS
Biological age measurement is currently a hot topic and focus of reference for anti-aging medicine. This terminology is even becoming commonly used by the public, whereas it was virtually unknown a few years ago. As it is a comparison of physical or biochemical results to chronologically age-related peers, it enables this technology to become an indicator of health. But what is the science behind biomarkers and how accurate are the clinical results compared to the published studies? This lecture will expose those biomarkers that according to the studies are the most accurate and reliable. Furthermore, there will be a discussion about the types of biological age systems on the market, as well as a recent review of biomarker published research that highlights some interesting new biomarkers hitherto unknown or underutilized. The very latest examples of patient’s evaluations and visualizations shall also be presented.
