Project|21's first patron, German internet entrepeneur Michael Greve, has formally announced a list of the research efforts that will be supported over the next year by the initial $1m tranche of his donation - as well as the startup companies receiving seed funds.
New MitoSENS Publication
Our newest paper has just been published in Nucleic Acids Research, demonstrating the simultaneous rescue of two mitochondrial mutations by new nuclear genes. We're grateful to everyone who donated to our 2015 crowdfunding campaign, which paid for this study!
SENS Animated
SENS Research Foundation has commissioned a series of 8 animations, narrated by actor Edward James Olmos, to explain the concept of SENS and some of the therapies that we're developing to end age-related disease for good.
SRF Cited in Nature
The extraordinary costs of drug development could be mitigated by adopting a less secretive approach in the early stages of research, according to a new article in Nature - citing work published early this year by SRF Summer Scholar Zeeshan Arshad and co-authors.
Forever Healthy
Michael Greve, the first donor to our Project|21 campaign, gave a presentation at RB2016 discussing how his life led to a passionate interest in the long-term maintenance of human health - and ultimately his decision to commit $10 million to our work.
RB2016 Videos Available
The 2016 Rejuvenation Biotechnology Conference was our first major event to be live streamed, with viewers tuning in from 62 countries. For those who weren't able to join the stream, a full recording is now available to watch in our video library!
Announcing Project|21
Project|21 is a new initiative created by SENS Research Foundation to advance rejuvenation biotechnology to human clinical trials by 2021, through three complementary programs: the Bridge Fund, the Center of Excellence, and the Alliance Program.
