t

Panellists: Alex Fedintsev, Leon Peshkin, Yuri Deigin, and Aleksandra Singer.

Recorded at Vision Weekend France 2023.


Key Highlights

  • They discussed the field's growth in public acceptance and funding over the past five years – they noted that, whilst reprogramming and longevity research are advancing, overall outcomes in the field haven't been as fruitful as hoped. For example, no groundbreaking concepts have emerged since reprogramming. However, they expressed optimism about the field's future, expecting gradual progress.
  • The panellists identified organ replacement, including preemptive strategies, as a key research area, as well as the potential for growth in artificially creating organs.
  • The potential integration of AI and machine learning in longevity biotech, particularly in projects like Alto Labs, was discussed.
  • They raised questions about the timeline and impact of ageing on future generations.
  • The discussion ended with an acknowledgement that, despite the optimism, much work remains in longevity biotech research.
