I have recorded a bunch of podcasts, but this last one is my favorite one so far. We talked about longevity, but also many of my other niche interests x.com/teleodaniel/st…
Daniel Shur@teleodaniel

Today’s guest on the Free Radicals podcast is @ArtirKel, head of theory @RetroBio_ and blogger nintil.com. Jose is a prolific blogger, covering a wide breadth of topics across economics, philosophy, progress studies, science funding, much more, and of course longevity. His works have been published by @a16z, @WorksInProgMag and @ASI.

Today’s guest on the Free Radicals podcast is @ricomnl, head of applied AI @retrobio_. Retro was seeded with $180M by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to develop therapies to prevent and reverse age-related disease, and is widely recognized as one of the leading AI for longevity companies. This was a fun conversation about Retro’s work with OpenAI to engineer 50x more efficient Yamanaka factors in a matter of months, what it means to build foundation models that can reason across natural language and protein sequence, and why the bottlenecks in biology are more experimental than computational. We also get into the biology of aging and how AI can enable therapies that dramatically advance healthy lifespan.

Today’s guest on the Free Radicals podcast is Christopher Bradley, founder of @matterbio. Christopher is a serial entrepreneur who has dedicated himself to solving aging after his last startup Mana Health was acquired by NBC Universal. His company Matter Bio is developing therapies to enhance DNA damage repair to slow the rate of aging, and to treat cancer through novel bacterial delivery mechanisms. They've raised over $9M for this purpose from investors including Lifespan Vision Ventures and @quadrascope. In today’s conversation we discuss the theory of aging as information loss, which Chris contends is primarily mediated through DNA damage, how to unlock new approaches for longevity through large scale genomics studies, and the evolving business of biotech.

Today’s guest on the Free Radicals podcast is @RaianyRomanni. Raiany is a Harvard and Brown-trained bioethicist focused on understanding why secular people like to narrate death and aging as good things, and quantifying the economic impacts of such narratives. Our conversation focuses on the ethics and economics of longevity. Listen to hear the moral case for delaying aging, why it’s not a “luxury problem” and much more! More info on Raiany: she worked with legends like George Church and Steven Pinker on her PhD, and also played a central role in designing the $101 million dollar XPRIZE for Healthspan, the largest science prize ever awarded. She is the founder of a new think tank designed to study and streamline progress in America’s science and technology, and most recently published a paper demonstrating that delaying overall biological aging by just one year could yield $27 trillion dollars in net present value. Be sure to follow me and @EricDai_BioE to stay up to date on the latest news in longevity biotech! 0:00 Intro 2:44 Daniel and Eric discuss their takeaways 8:35 Raiany explains the economic impact of longevity 13:08 The connection between ethics and economics 17:20 The importance and failures of bioethics in the modern age 20:28 Objection to longevity #1: nature knows best 25:07 Are the pharma companies heroes or villains? 29:31 Objection to longevity #2: overpopulations 30:20 Objection to longevity #3: vampire billionaires and tyrants 30:20 Objection to longevity #4: vampire billionaires and tyrant 31:52 Objection to longevity #5: cultural stagnation 33:28 The importance of human agency 41:01 How to influence the culture and policy 46:30 Objection to longevity #6: longevity is full of snake oil salesmen 49:20 US-China and the race to longevity 52:43 Evidence that aging is malleable 58:00 Eric and Daniel open up about their relationships 1:02:48 Is longevity a “luxury problem”? 1:06:21 The greatest crisis facing our generation

Norn Group
Norn Group@NornGroup·
How do we unlock faith in the longevity field? @MartinBJensen: "$250 billion for biomedical R&D per year in the US or $400 billion globally. Aging field globally is like $1 billion. So it's less than 1% of biomedical R&D. That's very low for something that is the primary risk factor for most of those diseases. Why is it low? Because nobody thinks it's going to work." But that’s starting to change.

In today's episode of the Free Radicals podcast, @EricDai_BioE and I hosted Dr. @JanineSengstack & @robcahill10 , co-founders of @junevity . They are on a mission to extend lifespan and healthspan by combining AI and large scale omics data with genetic medicines known as “siRNAs”. Their cellular reset platform promises to create medicines that can reset each of your organs back to a healthy and youthful state. This year, Junevity successfully restored "18-year-old metabolism" in animal models allowing mice on a high-fat diet to lose fat while retaining muscle. This candidate therapy may become the first known drug to rejuvenate metabolism. They just announced that they doubled their seed round funding up to $20M to advance this work into human clinical trials, which means we might see their first rejuvenating medicine in the clinic as soon as the second half of next year. 0:00 Intro 2:29 Junevity’s Cell Reset Platform 3:57 The science behind the platform 8:34 Rob’s transition from exited tech founder to biology student 12:59 What makes for good co-founder relationships 16:12 Why right now is the moment for longevity biotech 18:05 Black box AI vs traditional biology 23:21 Advantages of siRNAs for cell reset 32:32 Junevity’s secret sauce 36:09 The primary challenge in all preclinical work today 40:16 siRNAs for obesity 49:04 Timing for achieving longevity escape velocity 55:26 The Ozempic or ChatGPT moment for longevity 1:02:54 Bottlenecks to accelerating longevity 1:07:31 What’s next for Junevity
