Thinking of starting a community for people who want to learn biotech, drug discovery or anything bio in general. Reply to the tweet if you want in. Let's kill Death together

Good highlights from Vitalist Bay
Mikhail Batin@MikhailBatin

Vitalist Bay 2026. Summary. Over the four days of the conference, the main stage hosted 99 talks, discussions, and panels. Workshops and other activities were running in parallel throughout the event. What topics came up most often? In short: data, drug discovery, organs and transplantation, clinical trials, AI, funding, model systems, brain preservation, the immune system, and tissue or organ replacement. A more detailed breakdown is shown in the graph. What impressed me the most: 1. Kidney vitrification with long-term function after transplantation. Greg Fahy from 21st Century Medicine spoke about a vitrified rabbit kidney that continued functioning for over a year after thawing and transplantation. 2. Brain function after vitrification. Alexander German from Hibern Therapeutics / Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg presented near-physiological recovery of activity in mouse hippocampal slices after vitrification. This was not only about preserving structure, but also electrical activity, synaptic transmission, and plasticity. 3. AI for discovering new drugs using proprietary experimental data. Eli Berlin from Terray Therapeutics described a platform where millions of potential molecules can be tested in massively parallel experiments on microchips. They have already accumulated billions of precise measurements of protein–molecule interactions and use them in a closed loop: the model proposes, the lab tests, and the data flows back into the system. The most ambitious near-future goals presented at the conference: 1. Add 10 healthy years to human life. Joe Betts-LaCroix described the goal of Retro Biosciences as adding +10 healthy years to human life. Their strategy is either to replace old cells with young ones or rejuvenate old cells directly inside the body. 2. Learn to functionally replace neocortical tissue. Jean Hebert discussed an ARPA-H program aimed at restoring damaged brain tissue: grow new tissue, integrate it into the existing brain, and demonstrate that it can take over lost functions. 3. Build a city to accelerate longevity biotech. Laurence Ion from Viva City proposed a special jurisdiction where promising therapies could be tested faster, data could be collected more efficiently, and the path from idea to application could be dramatically shortened. Special thanks to @adamgries and @realNathanCheng for an outstanding event.

One of the primary reasons social democracy in the Nordics works so well is that most programs are not means tested - education is free for *everyone*, healthcare is free for *everyone*, child payments go to *everyone*. Childcare is (almost) free for *everyone*

This idea is very common - in the US and Australia it’s led to most welfare being means tested. The 2nd order effect of this is that people who don’t get the welfare feel that they get nothing back from the state and will over time vote to disassemble the welfare state further.

Inget ont mot er föräldrar som sparar till er barn MEN detta är varför jag anser att barnbidraget ska bort. Varför ska jag behöva betala för medelsvenssons barns kontantinsats till första lägenhet? Bidrag ska ansökas om och beviljas om behov finns.

The “data for AI in bio” discourse is shifting from “we need data” to “what's the right data for this problem?”, and then how to produce it. Right now there's a key gap between stated goals of curing disease and ongoing data generation efforts. We gravitate towards rapid and scalable experiments, even when those will never tell us how to treat Alzheimer's or aging. The default path is that intelligence will explode, and cures will be stuck waiting for data that can't be accelerated. There is work we should start today if we want to avoid that. I wrote out thoughts on how we can identify data that will/won't let us cure disease, and how to overcome the technical and physical barriers to making it.
