The Stony Brook Provost’s Lecture Series features talks by the university's SUNY Distinguished Academy faculty, highlighting their areas of deep expertise. Clinton delivered a talk titled "Good Vibes: Developing an Exercise Surrogate as a Non-Invasive Means of Extending Healthspan" on Thursday, November 20th, 2025. Exercise is vital for countering age-related decline, suppressing disease, and preserving function, but a novel strategy, Low Intensity Vibration (LIV), has been developed as an exercise surrogate. By mimicking muscle contractability using low-magnitude mechanical signals, LIV has shown promise in preclinical and clinical settings: in mice, it builds bone and muscle, improves mobility, and slows cancer progression, while in humans, it has suppressed osteoporosis and improved function in various conditions. In his talk, Clinton discusses the new non-invasive approach to combat systemic aging without the constraints of drug-based therapies.
