Telomeres are an aging clock
- Telomeres are the protective caps of our DNA
- Telomeres shorten over time
- When telomeres become too short, our cells can't function
- This is a major cause of aging
Our breakthrough drug
- Messenger RNA encoding telomerase (TERT mRNA)
- One dose reverses years of telomere shortening in days
- Invented by the founders while at Stanford University
- Works in vivo
Pipeline
We have a robust pipeline focused on aging and fatal diseases in which short telomeres have causal or major exacerbating roles. We are developing these programs in-house and through partnerships and out-licensing.
Team
Our strategy is to make safe rapid telomere extension available as broadly and quickly as possible
