Biotech entrepreneur building partial reprogramming gene therapies for Alzheimer’s and other diseases. As a Vitalist and a longevity maximalist, my life goal is to help humanity eradicate cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and other age-related diseases. To accomplish that goal, I wear several hats. As an activist, blogger and speaker, I try to convey the magnitude of human suffering these diseases cause, as they take 100,000+ lives each day; I try to instill a sense of urgency of needing to greatly increase funding for aging research if we want our loved ones to see significant life extension in their lifetime. As an entrepreneur, I try doing my part by directly building therapies that could produce such results.
