Part of this interview digs into his insights about recent AI developments and how it will be applicable to successfully developing antiaging, His current favorite company and approach for a broadly applicable treatment for cancer is at Maia Biotechnology. https://maiabiotech.com/ Maia is using a telomere approach. THIO is a potentially first-in-class small molecule that is the only direct telomere targeting agent currently in clinical development. Telomerase is present in over 85% of human cancers and contributes significantly to the proliferation and reproductive immortality of cancer cells. THIO’s in vitro activity has been studied in models of several tumor types with active telomerase. Having comprehensive treatments for all types of aging damage and new treatments for cancer and brain repair will create a new age of health and medicine. Winning companies in the areas of antiaging, cancer treatment and brain repair could become trillion dollar biotech giants. Over Twelve Billion Dollars have been invested in nearly 200 companies working on real aging cures. There is $2-4 billion in new investments in aging cures every year. The rate of scientific progress toward fixing aging is no longer money limited. Here is a link to Karl Pfleger's list of 158 antiaging companies. Karl used to work at Google and has been an active angel investor in antiaging companies. https://agingbiotech.info/companies/ The global response to the COVID pandemic to develop many vaccines and treatments shows that the world will develop aging treatments and make them inexpensive or free treatments for everyone.
