Repairing aging at its source.
Every cell still remembers how to be young. Time makes it forget. We are working to help the body remember, so strength and health last far longer than they do today.
As the night passes, the whole sky turns. One star stays almost still: the North Star.
It is not the brightest star in the sky. It matters because it holds its place while everything else moves. For centuries, navigators steered by it. Its height above the horizon even told sailors how far north they had come.
We named the company after it because our goal works the same way. The human body has a fixed point worth holding: its prime.
Slowing aging down is not enough to hold it. A fixed point holds only if the body repairs its damage as fast as the damage happens.
A body that stays in its prime.
Keep a healthy person as strong and able as a fit 35-year-old, year after year.
About 300 healthy years.
Extend healthy life far beyond today's limits, so that a long life is also a strong one.
Reset the cells.
Make aged cells young again, and give the body back its power to rebuild.
Remove the damage.
Clear the worn-out cells and the waste the body cannot clear by itself.
Keep the engine running.
Restore the energy that every cell runs on.
Protect the genome.
Keep the body's instructions free of mistakes, and make it far harder for cancer to take hold.
Each step is an aim of our research, not a treatment today.
We are building a team for each tier.
We want to hear from scientists who work on gene therapy, gene delivery and the biology of aging, and from advisors and labs who want to take on a tier with us.
