  • Has Oisin discovered the next OZEMPIC? 4x Muscle, Living Longer & Healthier – Matthew Scholz 236
    Matthew and Lowell discussed the development of a new DNA targeting intervention to clear senescent cells. They highlighted the unique approach of Oisin, which targets cells based on their transcriptional activity rather than their appearance or behavior. The conversation also touched on the challenges of DNA delivery, the potential for future adaptations to target new pathways, and the advantages of their non-viral vector. Matthew shared his journey into biotech, developing an app store for the human body, and the shift in the field's perception of his idea. The conversation ended with a discussion on the potential of using machine learning and control in building therapies that would have been difficult in the past.
