Neion Bio is turning chickens into drug factories - Dimi Kellari & Sam Levin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Producing the 3 to 5 grams of a biologic needed for IND-enabling studies costs millions of dollars using traditional CHO manufacturing. A single egg, meanwhile, contains 6 grams of protein, costs just 10 cents, and requires only chicken feed and water as inputs. Neion Bio is taking advantage of this incredible technology to turn chickens into drug factories. And they’ve already signed a commercial deal with a drugmaker to produce biosimilars. With AI leaders promising to unleash countless new th
The golden age for humanity is within our sights - Dr. Derya Unutmaz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty years ago, Dr. Derya Unutmaz predicted we would reverse aging by 2045. People thought he was crazy. Now, he thinks he was too conservative, and has moved the date up to 2040 because AGI arrived earlier than he expected. I sat down with Derya to ask if such bold predictions are too fatalistic. Is the future guaranteed? Shall we just sit back and wait for AI to save us? Derya disagreed. The golden age for humanity is within our sights, but there is much work to be done. Academia is failing
Stop optimizing your health and start campaigning against aging - Andrew Steele, Activist & Author (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Health podcasts are probably shortening your life expectancy. Not just because of the health anxiety they create, but because that time could instead be spent writing a letter to your congressperson. Aging kills 85% of Americans, and the US spends $15-20 per person per year on cancer research but only $1 on aging biology. No amount of zone 2 and sauna are going to save you from that gap. I sat down with Andrew Steele, scientist, author of Ageless , and founder of the Longevity Initiative, to tal
The $101M XPRIZE to restore function by 10 - 20 years - Jamie Justice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reprogramming molecules are getting dosed into patients for the first time, with the goal of restoring function lost due to aging. I‘ve had over 30 recorded conversations about the longevity space and didn’t realize this is happening so soon! We sat down with Dr. Jamie Justice, the geroscientist running the $101M XPRIZE Healthspan competition, and she told us there are five teams pursuing reprogramming, and hundreds pursuing other approaches. The $101M prize is to be awarded to teams that can re
How DARPA prepares for AI-designed bioweapons & is accelerating progress towards longevity biotech - Dr. Mike Koeris, DARPA Director (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI is accelerating the pace of progress for benevolent scientists and nefarious actors alike. We discuss how DARPA is preparing to defend agriculture & civilians from novel biological threats, and why such defense requires training foundation models for biology. We also dive into why DARPA is betting on blood as the operating system for the body, lessons from GLP-1s for human enhancement, how to create computers out of neurons, and much more. Dr. Michael Koeris directs DARPA's Biological Technol
