108 HIV patients were randomized to semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) or a placebo. After 32 weeks, the ones receiving semaglutide registered as multiple years younger with several different epigenetic age measurements.

My good friend Julian did a superb job interviewing Aubrey de Grey on his podcast. Watch if you don’t believe the end of aging is near. youtu.be/VNIwYdynOW4?si…

How can we enable biotechnology? Make protein faster!! Check out our new work in cell-free protein synthesis making ~1 g/l/h of protein. Led by the amazing Meagan Olsen Northwestern CSB biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is a great, in-depth overview of the pharmaceutical industry activity in the aging biotechnology space, including history of BD&L transactions since 2020 by Soleil Wizman. I agree with the report, recently we've seen a change in the corporate sentiment. When I embarked

AI Industry Made $57 Billion Mistake and No One’s Talking About It. While GPT-5 headlines kept you distracted... NVIDIA quietly released a bold claim: → Small Language Models (SLMs) are the future of AI agents Cheaper, faster and just as capable for 80% of real-world tasks.

‘Developing GLP-1 drugs was hard but didn't require alien-level tech. One of the biggest barriers was cultural: to many, obesity was a choice rather than a disease.’ Great post from Peter Fedichev on the parallels between Ozempic etc and longevity medicines:

Now this is really cool!

Robotics roles OpenAI . As a side note, robotics and biotechnology will be the top industries in the next decade.

The geroscience community has been buzzing, and we finally have informative data on semaglutide (a GLP-1 RA) and epigenetic age! 🧬⏳ After adjusting for inflammation and other factors, a 32-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found semaglutide significantly decreased

Reminder: Aging is a disease. It'a not an inevitable process. Aging can and will be cured. The more money that goes into research NOW, the faster we’ll solve aging. Everyone can contribute and accelerate progress by (for example) donating to people like Aubrey de Grey.

How it started — how it’s going ☺️

Crazy Breakthrough Just few doublings and we will be at human brain size level Chinese researchers at Zhejiang University unveiled Darwin Monkey (Wukong), the world’s first super large scale neuromorphic brain like computer based on dedicated chips, with over 2 billion neurons,

Nice job Andrew!

AI advances keep accelerating! I wonder if those who claimed there were walls and ceilings 1–2 years ago, even more recently, feel even a little shame about how wrong they were. I highly doubt it, though.

Another major advance in BioAI: This proteome-scale transformer learns functional constraints across the tree of life, predicts protein-protein interactions orders of magnitude faster than coevolution methods, & nails gene essentiality across species! Link to full preprint below.

We're not going to age gracefully. We're going to stop aging. That's all.

Head and neck cancer Breakthrough Perfectly timed cancer combo wipes out tumors by supercharging the immune system 'Head and neck cancer, notoriously hard to treat, might have a new weakness - timing. Researchers discovered that syncing radiation and immunotherapy in just the

New molecular technology targets tumors and simultaneously silences two 'undruggable' cancer genes Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a groundbreaking "two-in-one" RNAi based molecule that can simultaneously silence two major cancer driving

Nearly 2 million people are joining ChatGPT every day! This’ll likely continue throughout the year, possibly at an even higher rate. I anticipate it will reach one billion weekly active users by the new year. And this isn’t like using TikTok, every use adds value to their lives!

What’s different this time is that we are evolving a non-biological “species”, called AI, that’s about to be much smarter than us. It is also increasing in intelligence thousands of times faster & will soon have embodied forms as robots. Life as we know it will never be the same.
