Does anyone know these companies or if they are promising? AI for drug discovery also boasts lofty fundraising numbers but a lot of the field is fluffy.

- inglor_cz 4y agoSinclair is good at promotion (and self-promotion), but I would like to mention two other brilliant scientists who are not. The first is Gregory Fahy, who works on thymus rejuvenation, and actually has a bunch of people (not mice), whose epigenetic clocks have turned back a bit, together with some improvements in physiology which indicate that the rejuvenation, albeit modest, was real. The second is Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, who works on cell rejuvenation using Yamanaka factors. He was already able to pull this off in living rats without killing them - a major success given that the Yamanaka factors aren't exactly safe.
- csdvrx 4y agoSuper interesting pointers! Do you have a list of readings to catch up with what's being done?
- epicureanideal 4y agoI am watching the Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation, based in Los Gatos. I think they’ll be a part of the important improvements.
