Fortney: All BioAge discoveries stem from decades-old biobank samples
“So we can take these samples that are 20 years old, and we can query them with all the modern technologies that measure hundreds of thousands of variables, and then integrate that with our electronic health records to try to predict their future health course,…”
Fortney: Near-term therapies will add 10 to 20 years to human life
“I think the near-term therapies are going to add, say, 10 to 20 years.”
Kristen Fortney argues there is no hard biological limit on lifespan
“Going forward in the future, I think it's a really important point to mention that there is no hard biological limit on how long we can live, and these are a couple really fascinating examples. Bowhead whales, their average lifespan is over 200 years, so they'…”
Current longevity clinical trials could add 10 to 20 healthy years
“Three different therapies are already in the clinic today. So as I mentioned, there are drugs targeting senescence, metformin, and there are drugs targeting rapamycin being tested in clinical trials now. And I think that could already add 10 to 20 years of hea…”
BioAge identified a blood protein linked to longer human lifespan
“One of the targets we're working on now is a protein that circulates in your blood, and we discovered that humans who have higher levels of this protein live longer, are less frail, and are protected from disease.”
Pande: BioAge uses machine learning on young blood to develop anti-aging therapeutics
“And so if you think about the game plan that Freenome runs for taking blood and understanding where there's cancer and what's the cancerous agents in there, what BioAge is doing is doing essentially the same thing, looking at the blood of young, using machine …”
