the best part about solving aging is that we become time travelers






@fedichev , Co-founder and CEO of Gero @hacking_aging has been named among Rising Stars in Longevity by @BusinessInsider . This kind of recognition reflects a broader shift in the field. The focus is moving beyond treating individual diseases toward targeting the underlying process that makes us increasingly vulnerable to them with age. At Gero, this means applying physics to understand loss of biological resilience and translating that into drug discovery. This approach is already being explored in collaborations with Pfizer and Chugai Pharmaceutical (member of Roche group). Inspired by animals who are exceptionally resistant to disease and aging, like the naked mole rat and the bowhead whale, Peter Fedichev said: "We are bringing physics to biology in order to understand why these guys are aging so slowly or not aging at all, to replicate their ability with biotechnology." A new class of therapeutics is emerging, focused not on single conditions, but on the rate at which the body becomes disease-prone. This could become one of the largest new categories in medicine. #Longevity #Biotech #DrugDiscovery #Aging #AI #TechBio #Gerophysics
